I am currently a conditional permanent resident and will be removing the conditions to become a permanent resident in May 2007.

I am currently expecting and the baby will be born in the US by January 2007. I'm also planning to give the child canadian citizenship. Also, my Canadian passport expires in May 2007.

So my questions are (if anybody can help, especially those who have kids)

Do I need to apply for a passport for the child?

What happens when I need to travel with the child without the father? My family is in Montreal.

Can I apply for canadian citizenship for my child in the US?

Can I apply for a new canadian passport for myself in the US?

Sorry, I'm just so confused, if anybody could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I know as soon as you give birth you call the canadian consulate in the usa and report the birth abraod. That gives hime canadian citizenship.
