Visiting Canada with un-verified citizenship status of baby
I have Canadian citizenship but live in the US. I have a baby who has a US passport, but is technically a Canadian citizen as well through me. I have applied for a Canadian citizenship certificate for them but as you know the delay is multiple years to get one.
We want to visit family in Canada for a short trip. The rules say Canadian citizens have to enter Canada on a Canadian passport, but there is an exception where US passport holders can enter using a US passport which should cover the baby.
However, there also seems to be a requirement to carry proof of Canadian citizenship when entering with a US passport, and the only proof I have for baby is my birth certificate (born in Canada) and their birth certificate listing me as parent. The consequence for not having evidence seems to be having to go through immigration screening. Since we are just visiting temporarily, it seems like it might be ok if the baby goes through screening as a US citizen.
Will we run into any issues if we try to enter Canada and present the baby's US passport? Should I even try to present evidence that baby is a Canadian citizen, or should I just let them enter as a US visitor? If they enter as a US citizen will this complicate them receiving their Canadian citizenship certificate later?
