Citizenship is a process that takes time to be approved by the government of the country you wish to become a citizen of. In general, citizenship status in the US is difficult to receive and takes several years of processing. If your daughter is a citizen of both countries, you can include that information on your citizenship application forms, but you will still need to go through the proper channels to get approved. Having a daughter as a US and Mexican citizen will not make you a citizen of both and will likely have little impact on your application for citizenship. Becoming a Mexican citizen would be significantly easier if you were a US citizen, as the paperwork and legality is not nearly as complex and strict. Check with the governments of both countries to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

∙ 11y agoIf you are an foreign citizen residing in Canada, you are NOT an foreign diplomat, and your child is born in Canada, you can apply for his/her Canadian birth certificate. When you receive the birth certificate, the child is officially a Canadian citizen and you can apply for his/her Canadian passport even though you are not a Canadian yourself.
In this case, the child has received US citizenship based on principles of jus sanguinis (law of blood) and Canadian citizenship based on jus soli (law of ground).
***Please note that you should immediately register your child's birth at the nearest US embassy or consulate general and obtain a 'certificate of birth abroad' and then apply for a passport. All dual-national US citizens must enter and leave the United States using their American passport.

How can Ted Cruze become president being of Canadian birth?
His mother was born in the US and was a US citizen when he was born in Canada. Not long after he was born, the family moved to Texas. He claimed dual citizenship in the US and Canada and later renounced his Canadian citizenship. Whether he a natural born US citizen seems questionable. If he is nominated for President, I would expect the Democrats to file suit in federal court and get a ruling about his qualification for President. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the precise definition of the phrase "natural born citizen" as used in the Constitution.
