I think the main point, which Alphazip corrected me on previously, is that Paul's father was not a Canadian citizen when Paul was born, so Paul could not get registered, thus Paul is not a citizen under 3(1)(e). Remember, the concept of generation limits didn't start until 2009; in 1947, there...

Alphazip, thanks for the correction. :) Like I said, learning something every day. So I'm going to try again... 3(1)(e) does not apply to Paul because his father wasn't a Canadian citizen because of section 6 (retention requirement) of the 1947 Act. The 2009 legislation that restored his...

I think that since Paul's father's citizenship was restored because of the 2015 legislation and carried over with the current legislation, at the same time he was officially recognized as the first generation born abroad (because the fact can't be changed that he was born outside of Canada to a...

Thanks for the correction. I just re-read the 1947 Act and learned that born-abroad children born prior to the commencement of the Act weren't subject to registration but still had to file for retention. I initially thought registration applied to all before and after commencement, but it...

I've used the webform before I submitted my cit-0001 and got a response, hence why I recommended it, Just select the best options that fit the description of your question. I selected "Citizenship" from type of application, then "Citizenship - Proof" from type of enquiry continued. Then pose...

If he intends to pursue this, then yes, he would need his father's certificate of citizenship. A certified copy of proof of the parent's Canadian citizenship is one of the required documents he needs to include with the application.

Unfortunately, another bit of bad news is that between February 15, 1977 and August 14, 2004, there was a period of delayed registration at any age, so his father could have had his own birth registered, thus allowing him (your cousin) to also have his birth registered and become Canadian...

I'm not an expert, but to my understanding, dual citizenship was not recognized when the 1947 Act was established, hence the language saying that by naturalizing or being an alien in another country meant losing Canadian citizenship. But when dual citizenship was recognized in the 1977...

:eek:

How did this parent...? = Not a Canadian Citizen. Canadian certificate no = N/A On what date...? = Never lived in Canada. Did this parent leave Canada...? No Write N/A in the From, To and Destination fields.

Normal processing time is 5 months when the eCAS status is changed to "In Process". What is the status of your father's application on eCAS? If the last entry is the acknowledgment of receipt, then it has not been processed yet. If it says "In Process", then most likely it got sent to Program...

You can either use the webform, or call Global Affairs Canada at (613) 944-4000 to get transferred to IRCC directly. Since you are calling from outside Canada, you can not use the toll-free number.

Just a couple of far-fetched thoughts: When he was born, did he have a different name that you don't know of? Maybe he was adopted and given the name he has now by his new family, but his birth was registered with his pre-adopted birth name. You can try searching the NB records here. Does...

Most definitely fake. The employer is supposed to go through the LMIA process, and pay for your visa. brew-meister.com is not a real website. Enerplus has a warning on their career page about fraudulent recruitment advertisement. Also, this is a public forum so do not include personal...

Your second son is a dual American-Canadian citizen by descent, so you can apply for his citizenship certificate now. Processing time is quoted to be 5 months on the IRCC website, but routine cases have been reported to only take less than 2 months, so you have plenty of time until the end of...

Hello Qasem. Unfortunately, because your son was born before you were granted citizenship, he is not a Canadian citizen by descent. You would need to sponsor him for permanent residency. The good news though is that children do not have to fulfill the residency requirement from PR to...

Yes, I think that is what it means based on how the question is worded. Since it was established the first "his/her" referred to the applicant's parent, I would assume the second "his/her" would have the same inference. If they meant to ask if the grandparents were citizens when the applicant...

Becoming permanent residents then going through the citizenship process (application, interview, passing the test, oath) is called naturalization. But the question asks if the grandparent (your parent) was a Canadian citizen at the time of your birth (I'm assuming that you are filing this form...

I think the first step would be to formally adopt your stepson. Once that is completed, if you want him to be a Canadian citizen immediately, you can then apply for a grant of citizenship (because you asked if he can be a citizen without living in Canada, I assume you and your family intend to...
