Immigration Forum / Canada / November 2006Do Canadian citizens require a passport to enter Canada?
Do Canadian citizens require a passport to enter Canada? Perhaps that is a silly question but here are the details: I am a Canadian citizen living abroad. I have a 10 month old son who was born abroad and has never been to Canada. My "wife" and I are not married. I am planning to obtain a Canadian Citizenship Certificate for my son so that my "wife", son, and I can visit Canada. I understand that my wife will need a visitors visa. We are only planning to travel between the country where we are living and Canada. We do not have any plans in the near future to travel with our son to any third country. In this case, is it also necessary to obtain a passport for my son, or the Canadian Citizenship Certificate will be sufficient for him to visit Canada? Thank-you Hi > Do Canadian citizens require a passport to enter Canada? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thank-you Assuming that you intend to fly, he would require a passport to board the plane, and if he as a passport of a country that requires a TRV to visit Canada, he would not permitted to fly without one. CHC would not issue him a TRV since he is a Canadian. So get him an emergency passport or a regular one. PMM GO TO THE CANADIAN EMBASSY IN THE COUNTRY YOU ARE IN AND REGISTER THE BIRTH OF YOUR CHILD HE WILL BE GRANTED CITIZENSHIP THERE!

But the embassy will issue a Canadian Citizenship Certificate so that he has a document showing his Canadian citizenship. In any case, that was not my question. I asked if he must have a Canadian passport to enter Canada as a Canadian citizen or if the Canadian Citizenship Certificate is enough. Canadian Immigration accepts a citizenship certificate as proof of citizenship. But most airlines will require a passport for all travellers. You can have an emergency passport issued at the consulate. If I were you, I'd call the airlines and ask them, because Canadian Immigration will tell you a citizenship certificate is enough documentation to get back into Canada.
