At least\u00a0one biological or legal parent<\/a>\u00a0needs to be Canadian\u00a0at the time of the baby\u2019s birth. If you can prove your citizenship status to the Canadian government your children will\u00a0benefit from the\u00a0perks that come with being Canadian<\/a>, and you are\u00a0exempt from coronavirus travel restrictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It also works if you are the child of a Canadian born outside of Canada. In order to get citizenship status for you or your child, you have to apply for a\u00a0Proof of Citizenship<\/a>, which is also called a Canadian citizenship certificate. It costs about $75 CAD and can take around five months to process, according to the\u00a0Canadian immigration department\u2019s website<\/a>. There may be an option for expedited processing in\u00a0urgent cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada<\/a>\u00a0(IRCC) provides the forms on its\u00a0webpage<\/a>\u00a0for people to download and complete. If the documents are not in English or French you will need a translation of the documents and the translator will need to supply an affidavit. Translations from family members are not accepted.<\/p>\n

Documents will need to be clear, easy-to-read, and in colour. IRCC will ask for the original birth certificate that displays the name of the Canadian parents.<\/p>\n

You will also need proof that at least one parent was a Canadian citizen at the time of birth. This could include the parent\u2019s birth certificate, citizenship document, or any other evidence to prove the parent\u2019s Canadian status.<\/p>\n

If, for some reason, the parent\u2019s name is not listed on the birth certificate, IRCC will accept birth records and documents confirming the name of the Canadian parent. These could be pre-birth orders, court orders, surrogacy agreements or hospital records among others. Adoption orders are not accepted in this case.<\/p>\n

IRCC also asks for an explanation as to why the Canadian parent\u2019s name is not listed on the applicant\u2019s birth certificate, or why the birth certificate was changed or replaced. If you are not sure, explain why.<\/p>\n

Once IRCC receives your completed application they will send and \u201cacknowledgement of receipt.\u201d If they find your application to be incomplete they will send it back and you will have to fill in the missing elements. If they are satisfied with your application then they will send the citizenship certificate and you will have your proof of citizenship.<\/p>\n
