[Mrs. K]

Hi! My baby was born in the US. he is 7 months old. i am not canadian but My husband has a Canadian Citizenship. We are not planning on moving to Canada but we would love that our baby have dual citizenship.
Is it possible? If so.... What do we need to do? Thank You!

It depends on the circumstances of your husband's citizenship.

If your husband was either born in Canada or naturalized in Canada, then the baby is Canadian. But if your husband was born outside of Canada to a Canadian parent, then the baby isn't Canadian.

If it is the first, then you can apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate for the baby. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/proof-how.asp
