Proof of Citizenship for child born in Canada

[Moogle]

I am working through the document checklist for my husbands spouse sponsorship application. On part B - Supporting Documents Required, #3 asks if we have a child together which may have a claim to Canadian citizenship. I just recently gave birth to our daughter in Canada and I am a Canadian citizen. She would have a claim to Canadian citizenship as she already has a Canadian birth certificate. The question then says that I must attach proof of application of proof of citizenship for our child. Do I really need to apply for proof of citizenship if my daughter already has a Canadian birth certificate?

She would not have a claim to Canadian citizenship - she just a citizen by birth. In my case my son was born in USA and a Canadian citizen by me, but he does not have Canadian birth certificate, so I've applied for his Canadian Citizenship card and got the card after few months waiting. I just submitted a copy of his Canadian Citizenship card with application. I think that's what they want - a Birth certificate or Citizenship card or Canadian passport.

Thank you so much!!! That cleared it all up for me
