Hi All,
I have applied for Canada Immigration in Jan 2004. I got an interview in LA for Dec last week. I have a question though. My Daughter is a US Citizen and i dont think i need to apply for her. Since i mentioned her name in the application they sent me the medical forms also for my daughter. Can someone let me know do i need to get medicals done for my daugher or not.

It does not make any difference whether your daughter is a US citizen or not, she needs still get her medicine done.

If she´s moving to canada with you or not...you need to get her medicals done. If she needs to go to canada with you then you need to get her a PR card irrespective of whether she´s a US citizen or not. She cant stay in canada more than 6 months on her US passport.
I m in exactly same boat.

Thx (in reply to: Dependents Immigration)
Hi ME and Olek. thanks for the information. So as long as she accompanies us she needs to follow the same process as we parents do. I heard somewhere that if a US citizen is granted a Canadian immigration then the US one gets void or something like that. Anyways thx for the replies.

If you are planning to settle down in Canada then you HAVE to add your child to your existing application - It does not matter if she is a US citizen. Get her medical done and send in the documents needed to add her to your immigration application.
Even if she becomes a Canadian PR she will still be a US citizen and will still carry her US passport. She will have to give up her US citizenship only if she wants to become (and also qualifies to become) a Canadian citizen later on.

I do not think, Kenny you are right about giving up US citizenship. She can be a dual citizen of both the US and Canada.

It´s true - dual citizenship for Americans is possible. In fact, I´ve met many during my work as a Canadian Customs Officer...
