Hi there, your help is appreciated even though I don't think too many
ppl faced this peculiar case before.
Here are the facts.

Immigrated to canada in 1999 (stayed for 4 years).
Applied for citizenship in 2003.
Returned to home country end of 2003, got married.
Son born in February 2004.
Citizenshipt test and interview on April 2004 and got the citizenship.

So I got my citizenship as a single person in April 2004 while my son
was born a couple of months earlier from the date I obtained my
citizenship. Can my son get the Canadian citizenship? can I give it to
him?

Please help.
Kaza

1) when you got married did you inform cic as your citizenship application
was already filed.

2) when you son was born did you inform cic.

If your answer is no for both of above better seek legal help.

Immaterial that she was married or had a child during the citizenship
process.

The child will not be a citizen until the mother sponsors the son, and once
he is landed she can apply for his citizenship as children don't require 3
years of residency to apply.
