Hi! So glad to find this website.

After living in US for 8 years, I am planning to move back to British Columbia with my infant daughter. Need some help with a couple questions:

1. Is it easier/faster to get my daughter's proof of citizenship in US or in Canada?
2. Do I need to submit my daughter's Canadian Certificate when I reapply for my medical service plan(MSP) in BC?

Thank you for your help.

Get her both US and Canadian ID. Register at the Canadian consulate for the birth abroad certificate, and register her in the US as a US citizen and get her a passport.

You likely will need ID for her in order to get her registered for MSP.

Yeah, she'll need ID, doesn't really matter if it's US or Canadian as long as she's legally resident.
