Question

If a baby born in canada does he get passport automatically though his parents are a PR of canada?

Answer 1

If you are a legal PR of Canada and your baby is born here then your baby will be a Canadian citizen.

Once you get the child's birth certificate then you can apply for a Canadian passport for the child.  You will need two passport photos of the child and the passport application.  Take the child to the nearest passport office and file the paperwork.  It will cost 37$.  You will receive the passport in two weeks.

This is the Passport Canada website.  You can download the forms from here.    

Answer 2

A few years ago the people would fly from Hong Kong just to have their baby, then go home. This made the baby a Canadian (just in case the switch over of Hong Kong didn't go as well as it did)

He's a citizen of Canada, the greatest country on earth!

(caution: they have sent parents back home, forcing them to decide the fate of their child)

Answer 3

If a baby is born in Canada, he is automatically Canadian citizen no matter what the parents are, citizen, PR, migrant worker, student, tourist, illegal, whatever.  He will only get a passport when the parents apply for a passport.

Having a child who is a citizen does not give the parents any rights but if they are not PR, their child can sponsor them when he is 18.

For parents who are PR, their child will not inherit their PR status.  When the parents become PR, they sponsor all the children they already have but if they have a child later who is not born in Canada and therefore not Canadian citizen, they will have to file an application to sponsor it.
