Child born in India to a Canadian Citizenship holder

[izz83]

Hello Everyone. I am a Canadian citizen by Naturalization. I am expecting my first child early next year and most probably the delivery will happen in India. I have already applied for my wife's pr but that will take a bit of time. What will be the process to get the Canadian passport for the child in India and how long does it usually take? Has anyone been through this situation? If yes, your advice will be very helpful Thank you

When child is born, you'll need to apply for citizenship for the child and apply for passport at same time (I believe they call it a temporary or travel passport for newborns). The only difference here is that they take a lot of time to do the citizenship decision and can issue the temporary passport for the child pending the final determination of citizenship. (Obviously they only do this where the child has a pretty simple and obvious claim to citizenship)

You can look here to start:

Obviously you'd need to apply in India not Italy.
