jodymo:

To add to what RebeccaMB has said, yes, the Canadian parent needs to present his ORIGINAL birth certificate or Certificate of Citizenship at the time of application.

Kashismum,
i get it ... thanks for your clarification. I was excited for a moment there ;-)

yes, i forgot to add, the Canadian parent must bring ORIGINAL proof of Citizenship (birth cert or citizenship certi / card) ...

i do think Canada is by far, rather strict and "inconvenient" when it comes to applying for and/or renewing passports ... and they ain't cheap neither ... (but then haven't *applied* for tooo many other passports -)

Good post tho ... at least will clarify a lot for dual citizenship (specifically where UK and CDNs are concerned)

Cheers guys - your collective fountain of knowledge is astounding! really appreciate it.

Thanks to everyone who answered. How long does it usually take to get the birth certificate completed? I have no idea of the process

Just to add to this that being a British citizen does not automatically mean your child will be British....unless you were born in Britian. If you were born in Britian and are British citizen then child will be British.
If you are British and were not born in Britain then your child will only be considered British (for the purposes of a passport) if they were born in Britain, or if their Father has British passport.

birth cert in hk takes about 2 hours.... they are very efficient!

 

[jodymo]

2 hours?? You're kidding? - Sometimes I love this place!

For our little one's HK birth certificate, it took us only around 20-30 minutes to get it!

And of course if either of you is British or Canadian but of Chinese descent then your babe can get a HK passport too. Of course my all-white baby, despite being born in HK to PR parents, cannot. Boooooooooooo!
