Residence Status Question on Inland PR Application

Hi,

I'm hoping some of you pros can share some knowledge!

I'm Canadian born and raised. My husband was born in Dominican Republic, but went to Costa Rica with his father (who is Costa Rican) at a few months of age. He has Costa Rican Citizenship and passport. He grew up half in NY, and half in Costa Rica.

We lived together in the Dominican Republic twice while I was teaching English. It does say on his birth certificate and his passport that he was born in the DR. But he has no actual Dominican ID.

There are questions on the Permanent Residency from Within Canada that ask what his status was during the time we were there.

Would that be considered Visitor? Or is he automatically a Citizen since he was born there? He has no legal papers that would identify him as a Citizen of the DR though.

Thanks in advance for your help!! :)

Thank you for your assistance! :)

Does this mean that I can legally put him as a citizen for the time we were in the DR?? Even though he has no Dominican ID or Passport?

On another note - wouldn't this be an issue when he is eventually applying for Canadian Citizenship?? (as you can normally only hold dual citizenship...)
