An applicant filing a paper PR application under a Provincial Nomination Program asked whether they need to include their Canadian-born child on the application, and whether a fee applies for that child.
What group members advised:- Yes, include the child in the application — even though the child is a Canadian citizen by birth, they should still be listed on the family information in the PR application. Omitting a family member (even a citizen child) can be seen as withholding information.
- No fee is charged for the Canadian-born child. Since they are already a citizen, there's no processing fee to add — you simply attach their passport copy or birth certificate as supporting proof.
The practical takeaway: always list all children, including Canadian-born ones, on your PR application to avoid any appearance of non-disclosure — you won't be charged a fee for a citizen child, but you do need to provide their birth certificate or passport as evidence.
