Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Contact the local Canadian embassy in your state. Ask them for the Birth Abroad application and instruction form. The fees just increased this pass summer to 75$ I believe. It takes about 8-16 months depending on the wait time for them to process the birth, but at the end of it you will recieve their citizenship card in the mail, which you can then use to obtain a CND passport for them if you choose.

It's fairly straight forward. I did this for my first child this past summer and will be doing it for our 2nd in the spring.

Best of luck and congrats!!!

Check out the baby thread as a couple of us have been discussing this. I am due on the 13th and will be obtaining proof of citizenship once LO arrives (and we receive all of her documents). There is a link in one of the posts in the baby thread to the instructions and form to be filled out.

If you (the parent) are Canadian born (in Canada) or naturalized Canadian, your child is Canadian. If by some chance, you were born outside Canada to Canadian Parent(s), your child is not Canadian if also born outside Canada (there are special rules for Canadian govt employees working outside Canada). The rules changed to this in April 2009.

I was born in Canada, my son was born in USA in May 2009. We are both Canadian. I sent away for proof of citizenship to Nova Scotia and we had his certificate in less than 5 months. It is put away in case he ever wants or needs it. The fact that he is Canadian does not depend on having the certificate. It is only proof. He was Canadian the second he was born.

Congrats on your soon to be bundle of joy!!

Invictus..

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.
