Default register children for BC

Hi

Father - BC by descent - from Hong Kong; His parents got BC by a special scheme offered to HK in 1995
Mother - Foreigner - from Hong Kong
Children - aged 7 and 10 years old now
Moved to UK under spouse visa in 2021 April

Could I register the children for BC in 2024 April?
How long does it usually take?

Thank you!

J

What exactly does the father’s British citizenship certificate say?

British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990
Certificate of registration as a British Citizen
The secretarty of state, in exercise of the powers conferred by the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990, has registered the person named below as a
British Citizen
It was in 1993 not 1995, my husband was around 15 years old at the time

To give a bit of context, I am considering moving to Canada in 2024 summer so wonder if we could get their BC first before moving.

Assuming we could get BC for the children on 2024 summer

Could I (the non-BC spouse) go to Canada to study for 1 or 2 years? Will this affect my path for PR?
