TN Visa and Child
- Thread starter Junoon123
- Start date
As long as you are a Canadian citizen otherwise than by descent (i.e. you were born in Canada or naturalized in Canada), your child born abroad is automatically a Canadian citizen at birth. Before she can get a Canadian passport, she first must get a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship. From the U.S., applying for this certificate may take up to a year. She can travel on her U.S. passport in the meantime.

The important things to do now is to get her US passport, as this is what she needs to travel abroad and return to US. As newacct said, at the same time , apply for her cdn citizenship card, as it does take time.
Her Cdn passport is not really of great importance, as canada allows Cdns to enter Canada on US passport, but US does not allow americans to enter on Cdn passport.
She may, of course, be entitled to a third citizenship based on your wife's.
