小熊笨笨 说:

Applying for children
If you are the parent of a child who is under 18 years of age, you may apply for your child’s citizenship as soon as the child receives permanent resident status. Children do not need to have lived in Canada for three years to become citizens. To apply for your child, you must already be a Canadian citizen yourself or you must be applying to become a citizen at the same time.

Children do not have to write the citizenship test.


从这句话看苯苯的理解是对的, 孩子要成为永久居民后才能申请

笨笨对这一句话还有一点疑问：

A child (under 18 years of age) must be a permanent resident of Canada to apply for Canadian citizenship

看起来对孩子无居住限制（4年住满3年入籍），但好像要求孩子是永久居民(也就是5年中住满2年的意思). 在父母入籍之前，孩子不能失去永久居民身份！

我对孩子需要是永久居民有不同的理解， 登陆拿到枫叶卡（permanent resident card）就已经是永久居民了。没有说小孩必须在加5年中住满2年的要求啊。。。。。。。。

因为父母入籍至少需要三年的时间。笨笨是指父母申请入籍时孩子不能失去永久居民身份（由于5年中住满2年才能保住这个身份）。

比如说父母登陆四年后才达到4年住满3年入籍资格，而如果孩子在这4年里一直没有居住在加拿大，就失去了永久居民身份！这样父母需要为孩子先申请团聚移民，成功后再为其申请入籍。

Failure to comply with residency obligations may result in the loss of permanent residence status.

When a permanent resident fails to meet residency obligations, immigration officers may issue a departure order that requires that person to leave Canada. Under the new Act, immigration officers abroad now have the authority to inform a person in writing that they have lost their status.
