I have a Canadian BC for him a SS card and passport for my son. My question is -- is he a us citizen born abroad everyone I ask says he is but his dad says he is not :confused:

    Because you are a U.S. citizen, your son is as well. I am a Canadian citizen, my son was born in the U.S. and is a Cdn. Citizen with dual privileges.

    Your husband is incorrect.

    In every country, the child always obtain citizenship from the mother. In this case, your child has dual citizenship BUT you must register his birth at the US consulate in Canada.
