Hi there,
I am a Canadian Citizen by birth and just had a child in the USA. My husband is American and just got his CoPR so we are planning on landing into Canada soon. I am working on getting my newborn's Canadian Passport Application sent in so we don't have any troubles at the border.
My question is, does my newborn's US Birth Certificate count as Canada Proof of Citizenship (since it outlines me, the Canadian Citizen by birth) as my child's Mother? We applied for a Canadian Citizenship Certificate but haven't gotten a response yet and need to cross soon. What can I use for my child if her US Birth Certificate won't work as Proof of Citizenship?

It isn't proof of Canadian citizenship. You can apply for a limited validity passport based on the Certificate app being submitted; the passport can be issued quite quickly with proof of travel. If the Canadian passport doesn't come in time, your child can enter on her US passport.
