Hello,

I am applying for my new born's "Proof of Citizenship" application online. I went through the application and have a few questions. Hope someone who has already gone through the process can help with some answers.

1. I am Canadian Citizen and I am applying online on behalf of my child. Should I include my spouse's name also in the application.

2. Baby and Mother are in India, and I am in Canada. Which address should I give under Residential Address - Canada or India?

3. What should I answer to the below question?
Is a citizen of one or more countries other than Canada? Yes or No?

4. Please provide Citizenship Certificate details. What should I answer to this question as this is text box in the application?

5. Select 2 pieces of identification (ID) that you'll provide. If applying for your child(ren), provide their IDs (not yours). (required)
Both IDs must show the applicant's name and date of birth. 1 must have a photo on it.

Option 1: Passport or official travel document
Option 2: Driver's license (if applying for a child under 18, upload their driver's license)
Option 3: Canadian health card
Option 4: Government-issued ID (for example: hospital card, school records, or health insurance card)
Option 5: Other government-issued ID. Select if applying for a child with only 1 ID. Upload a letter explaining why the child only has 1 ID in the next step.


I do not have 2 pieces of ID for the new born, I just have 1 for now from India (Aadhar card). What other ID can I provide? And what options should I select? I have selected Option 5, but without selecting other option, I am unable to proceed.

6. I do not see option to upload documents yet. Is that usual or should I finish this first to proceed with the documents upload?


Thanks in advance!

1. I think it would be misrepresentation not to mention them
2. I would think its 'where the family lives' are you visiting Canada or you live in Canada and they live in India? I would suspect they want the applicants address which is your son.
3. This is your son? Yes, I assume India by birth.
4. Provide your citizenship certificate number (see the application instructions it will answer this, there might also be a hover question mark thing that explains)
5. You can upload an explanation and 1 ID. I think the explanation is probably a long version of 'hes a baby'. Could you just get his passport? For my son I got his ID card and then passport and then applied (hes Paraguayan/Canadian).
6. It's the last step before payment because it's based on the question answers.

Hi, did you get your AOR? what option did you select for this question?
Is SRI AARNA SAJJA PRAVEEN KUMAR a citizen of one or more countries other than Canada? Yes or No?

And I don't have aadhar card . I applied for it and it's been 40 days, still I didn't get aadhar. I only have birth certificate, can I apply with birth certificate as proof of 1 ID and other ID, can I wrote explanation letter?

Hello, please did you select Urgent Processing during your application? What supporting document did you upload if you used urgent processing. Anyone please help.

Also for my application, the mother is still waiting for PR approval outside of Canada.

Just write an explanation letter that you don't have any ID cards other than birth certificate as they are infants. Upload explanation letter in place of ID cards proof. While my application is in progress, we applied for canada urgent passport with payment receipt of our application and flight tickets for everyone including kids. Write an email to delhi immigration, they will answer each and very question and they will send you documents which you need to fill out and send them courier or go in person to delhi to apply for canada urgent passport. We applied in person with all documents mentioned by delhi immigration in email along with flight tickets( book tickets for nearest date so that you can show them it's urgent ) we were asked to collect passport in 30days . We collected passports and immediately next day our proof of citizenship is also approved

Initially we didn't book flight tickets, but at the time of appointment in delhi, they gave us 1 hour and asked them to show proof of tickets that we have to travel immediately. So we got benefitted by going in person, so that if anything is missing , they will tell us upfront.
