I am a Canadian born citizen, my wife is Dominican we got married in January of this year and submitted a Canadian Permanent Residence application back in March of this year shortly after being married which is in a processing status. My wife will be giving birth very soon to our baby in Dominican Republic so I know the citizenship passes down to the baby, so the baby will be dual citizen of DR and Canada. I am wondering if anyone has any information on getting a passport for the baby and how long it takes?
My wife already has a visitors visa for Canada so she technically can enter the country anytime while her PR is being processed. I would assume that the Canadian Embassy in Santo Domingo (who currently has my wife's PR application) would be the same ones processing the proof of Citizenship and subsequent Passport application for the baby? How long does it usually take to process these types of things? Or will the the birth of the child as part of the PR application and process everything altogether? Meaning I will just need to contact the Embassy and let them know of the changes in the dynamics of our family for the PR app, or will it be treated completely separate?
Any information would be appreciated.
