About Geoff Wickens
Expertise
I have a fairly vast knowledge of the history of The City of Vancouver, BC. All my knowledge has been learned through on-hands experience. I am apt to answer most any question in regards to the history of the city, the construction of its bridges and the history behind some of its buildings.

Experience
I drove cab for 5 years and in that time gave numerous city tours with full historical backgrounds. I have a thirst for history and an appetite for knowledge.

Subject: If my baby is born in Vancouver...

Question
If I am a US citizen and I have my baby in Canada, will my husband and I become Canadian citizens or will it just be the baby?

Answer
This is a little out of my realm of expertise, but I have the answer for you - your baby will have dual citizenship.  Nothing will change for you or your husband (I am assuming both of you are Americans).

From my understanding of birthrights, the child will be a citizen of both Canada and the USA until his 18th birthday at which time he must make a decision as to his country of choice.

Thanks for asking.
