Topic: Are my children eligible for citizenship?

Ruben

My mother is Canadian and I took Canadian citizenship when I was 15.

I was born overseas and have never lived in Canada.

My children were born overseas before April 17 2009 and they have never lived in Canada.

I am unclear whether they are Canadian or can apply for citizenship.

Is the rule that to be eligible they must have applied prior to April 17 2009, or that they must have been born prior to this date?
