Citizenship for 4 year old born in India

[Freddykoikaran]

Hi,

I am a Canadian citizen (by birth) and have been living in India for many years now. I am married to a woman of Indian origin and we have legally adopted a baby boy, who was also born in India.

As a citizen by birth, can I claim Canadian citizenship for my son?

There is an application that you need to fill out. Yes your boy can get the citizenship. I am not aware of the leadtime though.
