My baby by birth is Canadian Citizen.Does that entitle me to get Canadian Citizenship being his natural parent?

I have applied for Canadian Citizenship from India and meet all the requirements of the application.My baby by birth is Canadian Citizen.Does that entitle me to get Canadian Citizenship being his natural parent?
NO.





Canadian citizenship is can be passed on by descent. Since you're the parent, you're not a descendant of your child. Also be aware that India does not permit dual citizenship. You will have to renounce your Indian citizenship in order for you to be naturalized as a Canadian citizen. Your child is only allowed to have one citizenship as well due to the strict clause in India's Constitution regarding dual citizenship.





Your child can stay in India with his/her Canadian citizenship by applying for Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) status.





With OCI Status, a foreign passport holder is entitled to the following:





1. Multiple-entry, multi-purpose, life-long visa to visit India. The holder of the OCI Certificate would still need to carry his/her foreign passport, but a Visa ';U'; (';U'; for Universal) sticker would be affixed on the foreign passport;


2. Exemption from reporting to police authorities for any length of stay in India;


3. Parity with NRIs (Non-Resident Indians) in financial, economic and educational fields EXCEPT in relation to acquisition of agricultural and plantation properties.





Please note that OCI is NOT Dual Citizenship. The Constitution of India does not permit the facility of holding Indian Citizenship simultaneously with a foreign citizenship. The OCI holder would therefore not be eligible for the following rights in India:





1. Right to vote;


2. Right to hold constitutional office (i.e. parliament, courts, cabinet posts, etc.); and


3. Right to hold posts in the government services sector.My baby by birth is Canadian Citizen.Does that entitle me to get Canadian Citizenship being his natural parent?
Contrary to your claims, India does not permit Dual Citizenship. I have called the Embassy in Washington and they have reconfirmed that. OCI Status is NOT dual citizenship. Please be aware of that.

you are NOT entittled to get PR or citizenship JUST because your child was born in Canada





your child is also NOT entitled to an Indian passport as they are NOT an indian citizen.





you need to apply to immigrate to india and from india those applications to Canada are currently taking 6 years to be processed.
Your baby is a Canadian citizen but you are not in order to come a Canadian citizen you must have to fill out the application. But if you would want dual citizenship you might not be able to have that. Since you have said you applied for it from India, they do not allow dual citizenship.
You get citizenship through your parents, not your children. If you adopted a Chinese baby, would you expect Chinese citizenship if you wanted it?
absolutely not unless the other parent is canadian





your baby has no effect on your application,canada does not recognize anchor babies
