Why Canada? The Canadian passport is now the 7th most powerful globally, offering visa-free entry to 185 countries. And that is just the tip of the iceberg of the benefits of Canadian citizenship.
Children born in Canada are automatically granted Canadian citizenship under Canadian law, regardless of their parents’ nationality or immigration status (with limited exceptions).
Children born to foreign diplomats in Canada are not eligible
This is the only situation where citizenship is not automatically granted
A Canadian citizen enjoys citizenship rights from the Canadian government by birth, descent, or naturalization. Anyone born in a Canadian territory is regarded as a Canadian citizen, regardless of the descent or status of their parents.
Being a Canadian citizen means the child can travel in and out of Canada when they are of age without a visa. If they decide to stay in Canada, it does not affect the parents’ process of gaining permanent residency or citizenship.
By descent, children born in the first generation to a Canadian parent outside Canada are considered Canadian citizens. Later generations may be entitled to Canadian citizenship by birth under certain conditions.
Foreigners can also become Canadian citizens by naturalization. Permanent residents may be able to become citizens after staying in Canada for a minimum of three years and meeting specific requirements.
Before 2009, children born outside Canada who had at least one Canadian citizen as a parent were entitled to Canadian citizenship. Only the first generation of children born after 2009 to parents outside Canada are entitled to citizenship by descent. The government can only confer citizenship on the children if one or both of the parents were born in Canada or became naturalized before giving birth to the child.
Every law concerning citizenship in Canada also applies to adopted children. Legally adopted children of Canadian parents can be beneficiaries of their parents’ citizenship status if their name appears on the child’s birth certificate. This became legal in July 2020.
With the present laws guiding citizenship in Canada, only the first generation can become citizens when born outside Canada. The second or a later generation born outside Canada can enjoy citizenship by descent if their grandparents live outside Canada because they were employed in the Canadian Armed Forces, in the public service of a territory or province controlled by Canada, or are with the federal public administration. This also applies if the children were adopted and born outside Canada
Individuals of value are encouraged to apply for permanent residence to bring their skills and expertise to Canada. Nationals from other countries can apply for residency if they meet the requirements. Before coming to Canada, you must choose the most appropriate route.
There are four steps in obtaining permanent residence in Canada.
It is possible to check your Canada citizenship application status via the Canadian immigration service’s citizenship application tracker.

Absolutely, Canada's immigration system does not impose any restrictions on foreign nationals giving birth on Canadian soil.
No, the evaluation process for a Canadian visa applicant who is pregnant should solely consider factors such as the applicant's income, eligibility for entry, and ties to their home country. The intention to give birth in Canada should not affect the visa decision.
Yes, a child born in Canada will automatically gain Canadian citizenship and will not need to go through the process of applying for Canadian permanent residency or citizenship.
