VerifiedThank you for your question. My goal is to provide you with the best possible answer.
To achieve that goal it may be that I will find that I need to gather further information from you. As well, it's quite possible that you may feel the need to ask me additional questions for further clarification.
But, please understand that as a careful lawyer I will always give you an honest answer even if the answer is sometimes not what you were hoping for.
The child is automatically a Canadian citizen. You don't apply for citizenship for the child. You just need proof of citizenship.
You apply for that and then you can get a passport for the child. Both children have equal rights for all matters.
