1. A baby born in the UK to a Dominican parent and a British parent is automatically entitled to Dominican citizenship BUT they MUST register him/her at the British embassy in London in the first SIX months (please double-check this).
Otherwise the legal process back in the DR is a little less straightforward, but doable.
We finally got the child formerly known as "El Ilegal" registered as Dominican when he was four years old. He was born on UK territory but we brought him back to the DR at the age of three months thinking we could just register him normally here, but this turned out not to be the case.
2. I'm not familiar with Canadian laws but presumably the child would be automatically entitled to Canadian nationality? The parents would have to register the birth at their respective consulates if they wanted him/her to have their nationalities.
