I just did a dry run on the gov.Uk site - have you tried that? It seems to let you get through to supplying parents details etc even without having a naturalization certificate or similar so I presume that info gives them what it needs. I didn’t go any further but that site is quite easy to use.

If you mean consular birth registration then that’s not available for children born in Canada. You can only apply for their British passports.

i did look at the site but it said you couldnt apply for passports unless they were registered in the UK unless i read it wrong i think my daughter will have to call the website isnt that clear it said something about 1200 pounds for each child to register them

That’s if your grandchildren weren’t British at birth. If your daughter was born in the UK then your grandchildren will automatically be British by descent.
