I got PR status for Canada in July-2016
I will complete my 3 years of stay in Canada(next year mid), to apply for Citizenship


My child got PR status for Canada in Oct-2016
But for some reasons, she could reside in Canada for 2 months only, until now.

---------------------------------------------

Can my child apply for citizenship along with me, next year?

Can I apply for my child citizenship? before my 3 years of completion.....as PR
No, I don't think so. Check the IRCC website, as October 2017 brought some changes in child application rules.

The only way that she can apply for citizenship before you do is if she is eligible to apply on her own behalf under Subsection 5(1)

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...uides/citizenship-minors-subsection-5-11.html

But for that to be the case, she must have satisfied the physical presence requirement herself, independent of you (and this is obviously not the case for your daughter since she has been physically present in Canada for much less than 1,096 days in the last five years).

Or if the other parent of your daughter is already a Canadian citizen, or if the other parent is already qualified for citizenship at this point, she can derive eligibility from that instead.
