Ive been with my Girl Friend (GUANGXI CHINA) for a 2 years now. We are having a baby but have not yet completed the marriage cert. She cant speak english but i can speak chinese (canadian) and i figured since baby is coming in oct id have the maririage cert sorted by aug. If i take her to canada then i would have to leave her there as i need to be here in china for biz reasons. Additionally i want my kid to have my citizenship. I was told today that i would be rejected the marriage cert as she is visibly pregnant and it shows. So eventually i would have to pay a fine (FA KUAN) or rush to canada.

1. Is there a way to get the marriage cert and get approval in order to escape and fines and have proper certs for eventual immigration to canada?

2. Has anyone else been in this situation and how to sort out this so we can be straight.

regards,
RAJ

I may be a bit out of date, but:

Usual procedure is (1) get marriage permit (2) get married (3) get baby permit (4) have baby.

You have missed out steps 1-3!

You risk your baby being not only illegitimate but also an illegal "non-person" born outside wedlock.

Also, China does not recognise dual citizenship: the baby can be Chinese or Canadian but not both

You need to talk to your embassy urgently.

Best of luck

I am a Chinese lives in Canada. You have no problem to get a marriage certificate Now or later as your girl F is marring a foreigner. She can have as many babies as she wants and when she wants. China is very open to this. of course to have the marriage certificate before the baby's arriving is better for the baby is get canadian citizenship.
