Hi,
I believe that I might be a Canadian citizen by descent. I applied for a certificate of Canadian citizenship and the status of my application was just updated to "Decision Made."
I was contacted by IRCC, who wanted to know when my father immigrated to the U.S. from Canada. He immigrated before 1947 (most likely as a British subject), and I believe he never renounced his citizenship. I know that dual citizenship wasn't really routine back then, so they might not have allowed it. He might have lost his citizneship then.
However, I belive that I could have made a claim between 1977 and 2004 (when dual citizenship became allowed) and then again after 2009, when most "Lost Canadians" born outside of Canada in the first generation were eligible to apply for citizenship. I could be wrong, but that is how I understood the Citizenship by descent laws.
Has anyone else received a positive result with the "Decision Made" update? Or does it vary case by case?
Thanks for any information.
