Topic: Child born to Permanent Resident outside Canada

omneya

I had two of my children when I was a permanent resident but due to marriage issues, I had to have them outside Canada and leave them with their father who wasn't ready to move to Canada.

I moved back and forth between my children and Canada as I only had a small amount of time to fulfill my citizenship requirements.

I soon became a citizen of Canada.

I am currently living in the UAE but thinking of moving back to Canada and I am not sure what the status of my children is.

They were born when I was a pr holder but now I am a citizen.

Do they get canadian citizenship directly?
Do I need to sponsor them ?
They are 10 and 9 years old.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
