Dual citizenship (?) - baby born in US for a Canadian parents/
Hi,
I am a Canadian citizen by naturalization. As a Canadian, I, along with
my small family, moved to the US, and cunrrently live and work in the
US under the TN visa.
We had a new baby few weeks ago, I understand he would be a US citizen
by birth.
My question: Anybody knows, if I voluntarily applied for a Canadian
citizenship for him through the Canadian embassy in US, would this
result in losing his American citizenship or not?
I am assuming that the Candaian embassy can only forward the forms for
obtaining citizenship application for the baby based on my will.But it
cann't provide an advice to my question.

Not.
Quite possible to have both.

Yes.

No, it would not affect his US citizenship. US citizenship cannot be
taken from a child based on the actions of a parent, or any other
person.
Additionally, if you are a Canadian citizen, then your child IS already
a Canadian citizen. What you would be doing is applying for a
Certificate of Canadian Citizenship, also referred to as a Citizenship
Card, which would be proof of his Canadian citizenship. You would not
be applying for Canadian citizenship to be conferred upon the child,
merely doumentary proof that he already holds citizenship.
He would be able to keep and make use of both citizenships, for life.
Some people may tell you that your child will be required to choose
only one citizenship at some point in the future, but that's a widely
held misconception. Neither the US nor Canada will require such a
choice.

The Canadian government would not want to comment on your question,
because the issue of how it would affect his US citizenship would be a
matter of US law.

Unfortunately under archaic US law he is a citizen by virtue of being born
on US soil. This makes no sense at all and was probably intended so that
freed slaves were considered citizens. But those days are over and this law
must be changed immediately. After all, diplomat's children are not
automatically US citizens just because they're born in the US and children
born to at least 1 US parent abroad are considered Natural born US citizens.
An illegal female can have a number of kids in the US and they're all
citizens and now she'll have no problem staying and will be made legal and
probably get citizenship. It's insane and unfair to the people who wait
years and spend a lot of money to get into the US legally. In effect, we're
rewarding the law breakers.
To stop this illegal invasion we must do the following to start:
1. Fine and imprison any person or the directors of a company hiring
illegals.
2. Change the law regarding citizenship for people who are simply born in
the US unless their mother is here legally
3. Arrest and deport all illegals with no hearing and bill Mexico(or
wherever they're from) the cost. And when they are deported make sure it's
to some remote area of their country not just on the other side of the
border.
4.Permit only those people with at least a University degree or a
substantial amount of money to live on or invest to enter the country. We
don't need any more lawnboys etc etc (something students or the poor should
be doing)
5. Limit to 10% of yearly income (legal) the amount of money that can be
sent out of the country by non citizens.Most of these people use US Postal
money orders and I can see that the post office has made it entirely too
easy for them to send money this way. Apparently they are complicit and know
what's going on.

5. Presumably this applies both ways, just wondering because I brought in many many times my annual salary into the US when I moved, seems somewhat silly limiting the inflow of such capital. Not sure the USC's who we bought our house from would have been that happy either.

hearsay.

What do you mean "their" home country. You can't assume that the child
will be a citizen of his mother's country. It depends on the
nationality law of the country involved.

What do you mean "their" home country. You can't assume that the child
will be a citizen of his mother's country. It depends on the
nationality law of the country involved.

That should not be a problem that the gov't of the US should have be
bothered with, it's the woman's problem. The US gov't only has to worry
about enforcing US Laws and entering the US without permission is Illegal.
If you can't show a passport and visa you should be immediately deported, no
hearing because you're not supposed to be in the country. And be thankful
you're not charged with espionage for sneaking over the borders into the
US.

Unfortunately (for you, anyway) it doesn't work that way. The baby is
a US citizen. Come back when you've changed the Constitution.
