[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was born in Canada and applied for Canadian citizenship for my children who were born in the US. You need to fill out form CIT 0001:

Here is the list of documents you need. The requirements will be different depending on whether your mother was born before or after 1947.

In my case, the documents I sent were my Canadian citizenship certificate, my child's birth certificate and a US photo ID of the child (I did a US passport). I sent certified copies of the documents. The state of Maryland (where I lived) does not allow notary publics to certify copies, so I had to go to Washington DC and meet a notary public at a Starbucks. The total cost was $75 application fee and $30 for the notary public.

I think if your mother is claiming citizenship through her father, she will also have to send her parent's marriage certificate. She will need a copy of her father's birth certificate or citizenship certificate and she will need two photo IDs.[/quote]

PP here. Sorry, only one of your mother's IDs have to have a photo. She will also need her long-form birth certificate which lists her parents names.

Also, the process is not difficult if you have all the documents. Gathering the documents will probably be the most difficult part. Once I mailed the application it took about 3 months for the Canadian government to send my child's proof of citizenship.[/quote]
