Minor PR Child Stuck India Options Obtain Canadian Citizenship

[Rajpal (Admin)]

In the case of minors, there are two scenarios in regards to Canadian citizenship:

1) If the minor has a Canadian parent(s) who is also applying for Canadian citizenship at the same time as the minor, then the minor DOES NOT have any residency requirement

2) If there is no parent(s) applying for Canadian citizenship at the same time, then the minor DOES have residency requirements

In you friends case, since the parents are already Canadian citizens, their son will have to meet the minimum residency requirements.
