Can anyone please advise the procedure for applying for passport for my kid.

I am a permanent resident & i just had a baby boy who is 20 days old, i want to go back home for a visit.
someone told me a child who is canadian born can get canadian passport whether his parents are not canadian citizens.

So i was wondering where i can find the form ? kindly guide me .
thanks

Hopefully you are in canada?

If you are and your child was born in canada and you have a canadian birthcertificate for your child this hopefully shouldn't be too difficult a process for you.

You can find more information on the passport Canada website:

Either pick up a form from your local passport office or download the form an fill out the necessary fields. As this would be a new passport your child may need a guaranteur. You'll have to look up the requirements for this as I believe they have recently changed.

Cheers.
