Baby born in Canada..

[denokarter]

Hi Guys

Im a Canadian citizen , my wife is an american citizen and Canadian permanent resident. We are currently living in Ontario .

Our baby was born January 24th 2017 in Mississauga . Can he also obtain an American citizenship and american passport without living in america ?

Can Canadians hold both canadian and american citizenships or does he have to revoke one of the two?

thank you
