Maybe you can help me out.  I'm a Canadian citizen working in the us.  I
only have a TN work visa that I have renewed for 6 years in a row.  I have a
finance that is from the US.  I have a daughter now and I wanted to know if
she has Canadian citizen rights.  If so,  how do I make arrangements to do so?
Thanks,
CXXXXXXXX

This question is 60 days old.  But I did want to answer it.
Go to: Application to Register and Retain Canadian Citizenship.
That is where you will find the application to register your child.
The following is reproduced from the Government website at:  http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/bornout-info.html
      
           
      Born Outside Canada
      to a Canadian Parent
      Is your parent Canadian? Were you born outside Canada? Are you a Canadian who had a child outside Canada?
      Find out if you are a Canadian citizen. Learn about what you might have to do to keep your citizenship.
      Born Outside Canada after
      February 14, 1977
      You are a Canadian Citizen
      You are a Canadian citizen if you were born outside Canada and:
        a.. you were born after February 14, 1977; and 
        b.. you had a parent who was Canadian at the time of your birth. 
      Was your parent also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent?
      If your Canadian parent was also born outside Canada to a Canadian parent, (your grandparent), you may need to take steps to keep your citizenship. You need to take these steps before you turn 28 years old. If you do not take these steps, you could lose your Canadian citizenship. This is true even if you are living in Canada.
      Find out about keeping your Canadian citizenship in the brochure Retention of Citizenship. Use the worksheet to find out if retention applies to you. If you are ready to make an application to retain, go to the Application to Register and Retain Canadian Citizenship.
      Find out about proving your Canadian citizenship.
      Born Outside Canada Between
      January 1, 1947 and February 14, 1977
      Were you born outside Canada between January 1, 1947 and February 14, 1977? If one of your parents was Canadian at the time of your birth, you may be able to become a Canadian citizen.
      Find out about what you need to do in the brochure Were you Born outside Canada to a Canadian Parent?
     
 
Hope this helps
