I got my citizenship last month. Now I plan to move to India. But before going I want to apply for my 9 year old son who has been living with his father in India for the past 2 years out of 3 yrs. Will the period of absence from Canada affect his application for citizenship?
Should I come to Canada to collect his citizenship card? I shall be thankful for an early reply.

Is your son a PR of Canada? If yes, you should have included his application along with yours, since he does not have to meet the 1095 day test. But he cannot apply alone (without the parent's application).
Call the CIC to find if there is any way out.
Thank you for your response.
Yes He is a PR landed together with us in 2003. Unfortunately his Confirmation of Residence document got lost for which I have applied for replacement. That's why I could'nt apply for him with my application. Now that I am a citizen I can apply for him alone.

Small correction....
Yes, you can apply separately for your son's citizenship. However, at least one of the parent must already be a Cdn citizen.
You qualify as you are a citizen of Canada now.

You are right Dimple. I missed that point. Thanks for the correction.
