(Assuming the children are born abroad) - I disagree.

The 19 years old can apply for naturalisation as an adult if he meets all the standard requirements (5 years of residence etc).

The 13 years old child can't apply for registration as BC if his parents don't apply for BC (well, he can apply but his application is likely to fail).
