Hi,

Myself and my husband are holding work permits here in canada. We are expecting our first child in June.

If the baby is born here will the baby be Canada Citizen or India Citizen?

If the baby is Canada Citizen, to travel back to India can we get OCI for the baby??

I am little confused here as both of us are holding Indian citizenship and are working here on work permits.

Any information on this is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Manasa

The baby will be Canadian citizen. You can get OCI for the baby.

You can get either Canadian or Indian Citizenship for your child .

And you can only apply for PIO not OCI , as for OCI one of the parents need to be canadian citizen .

I hope that clarifies .

The above link is from a forum where someone had asked a similar question and the response is very good. Please read in its entirety.

The only item that is not correct in the forum response is the fact the child cannot obtain OCI since the parents are Indian citizens. Of course the child can obtain a PIO.
