OK, I was under the impression that the child had to be in Canada to apply and obtain citizenship.desperate said:No, it wasn't difficult, when she was born, the father agreed to and signed for her Canadian citizenship.

desperate said:It is my understanding that you can only have dual citizenship, Dominican by birth and Canadian from me. Are you saying he could take her to Switzerland?
Most countries will automatically grant citizenship to children born to their own citizens abroad. Much easier obtaining a mother's citizenship than a father's as maternity is easier to prove than paternity.Beads said:I dont quite understand how this child has never been in Canada and was born in the DR yet has Canadian citizenship.
Not so easy as Dominican Immigration would prevent the child leaving without the father's consent as they would suspect the father may be Dominican.Beads said:If you have proof of her Canadian citizenship and her birth certificate a passport and visa can pretty easily be obtained by being there so you can taker her back to Canada. Also lets just say "with a little cash anything can be done in the DR" and leave it at that.
rellosk said:It's probably similar to a child born from a US parent. Regardless where the child is born, they are entitled to US citizenship.
Parents:
1. If both parents are outside the country, they should go to the nearest Dominican Consulate and have a Consulate Authorization (Poder Consular) for the child's (children's ) exit from the DR. This has to be sent here along with photocopies of two ID documents for each parent.
2. If one of the parents is in the DR, this person should have a notarized document drawn up that authorizes the exit from DR territory of the minor (s). The Notarized act must then be "legalized" by the Attorney General's office (either in Santo Domingo or in Santiago). In Santiago, the District Attorney (Procuradur?a), and this is located on the 4th floor of the Palace of Justice. Two photocopies of the parent's c?dual and /or passport are also required.
3. If the mother is a single parent, she should have a sworn statement of her single status, legalized at the District Attorney's Office (la Procuradur?a) along with two copies of the C?dula and or passport. If the child will be travelling with a third party, an authorization to travel with that person must be "legalized, and notarized" by the same office.
4. If the single person is a widow(er) the corresponding Death Certificate should be produced and legalized.
5. If the minor (s) is/are going to travel with just one of the parents, the other parent must issue a notarized and legalized authorization. The Immigration office must also authorize the minor's exit. All this must be accompanied by two photo copies of the authorizing parent's c?dula or passport)

That's the same advice I gave her 30 posts ago. Because she seemed desperate, I also sent her a PM and an email. I guess she has other plans.AnnaC said:Here is what I will help you with.

rellosk said:Guys, can we stop with the crap. We all know there are (at least) two sides a story; and on the internet stories are often made up. But, this woman asked a question in the legal forum about what can she do.
Can't we just give her advice without disparaging her character (or the character of other DR1'ers)? If you don't believe her, than don't say anything.
Let the legal system sort it out. :nervous:
You make me laugh Miggles (you always make me laugh.)miguel said:His only purpose on this site is to say things like: "oh, attacks is all you get on this board". All he does is wait for someone to say something negative in order to post his: "oh attacks is all you get on this board". He does not make the comment and then tries to help the "attacked", he makes his "oh...." comment and moves on without offering ANY type of help whatsoever!!!!!!. It's like a fricking broken record!. I mean, have you seen this guy help anybody or offer helpful information?. If you see it, please show me!.
