You say that your citizenship was "granted" in 1985 when you were a minor. When exactly were you born? If in/after 1977, you inherited citizenship from your mother and would have been issued a citizenship certificate in 1985 as a citizen by descent. If you were born before 1977, you would...

I quote from https://www.vancouverobserver.com/world/lost-canadians/2011/11/05/lost-canadians-political-timeline (written in 2011 and not reflective of the 2015 legislation): "1997: In the Supreme Court case "Benner vs. Canada" [https://scc-csc.lexum.com/scc-csc/scc-csc/en/item/1545/index.do]...

I also received Canadian citizenship by delayed registration, but not by grant, because I was born to a Canadian-citizen father. Thus, I am a citizen from birth, and the 2009 changes had no effect on that. In your mother's case, however, she was a citizen by grant, and is now a citizen by...

It's possible, but ONLY if her father's birth in Australia was registered with Canadian authorities. This could have been done by his parents at the time of his birth, or, later, by himself. It just had to be registered before the birth of your sister-in-law in 2000. If so, then she would...

Actually, if the OP had applied before 2009, he still would not have qualified, because he was not born to a parent who was a Canadian citizen at that time. As hawk39 pointed out, the father only became a Canadian citizen with the 2009 changes to the Citizenship Act. The 1977 Citizenship Act...

As stated at that site: "There are two options for ordering copies of the Nova Scotia Historical Vital Statistics: • electronic copies, immediately available for you to download. You will also receive an e-mail containing the links to your electronic purchase; these links remain active for 3...

You can apply for a SIN from abroad (https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/apply.html), but you would have to mail in your citizenship certificate, which you may not care to do. Citizenship certificates never expire, so there should be no reason why you can't use...

I have no personal experience with this, so I don't know how long it takes. Only one parent needs to be a Canadian citizen for your child to be Canadian.

You would go through the High Commission office in Malaysia to apply for proof of citizenship for your child and at the same time apply for a travel document. You would need the child's birth certificate (with translation if not in English or French) and your birth certificate. Contact the...

You are correct in thinking that your father is a Canadian citizen as of 2009, but, because you are the second generation born abroad, you are not. You would have a claim if your grandfather served in the Canadian armed forces during WWII and your father was born abroad during that period, but...

If your mother's birth certificate was issued by the province of Ontario (and not a self-made copy), you can send a certified copy along with your application. So, you would take the birth certificate to a notary public and have the notary make a copy and certify it as being a "true copy."...

Yes, you can have multiple citizenships...not a problem. As to taxation, only the USA and Eritrea tax based on citizenship. The other countries you mentioned tax based on being resident in that country. So, it is where you are resident that will determine where you pay tax.

Yes, as the child of a Canadian-born parent, you are a Canadian citizen. As stated previously, you will need to get proof of citizenship in order to apply for a passport, etc.

Yes, if you were born abroad after your father became a Canadian citizen, you are a Canadian citizen.

Actually, since his father would have become a Canadian citizen as of 2009 retroactive to 1947, it would be fine to select: "Born between January 1, 1947, and February 14, 1977, and at least one of my birth parents was a Canadian citizen when I was born." Then: "He or she was born outside...

If your father was born in the USA in 1936 to a Canadian-born mother (as opposed to a Canadian-born father), he would not have been a British subject at birth. And, he would not have become a Canadian citizen in 1947 (unless born out of wedlock). If your grandmother never became a U.S...

I agree that the OP's children are not Canadian citizens. However, as regards moving to Canada, the children don't have to live in Canada for "a few years" to apply for citizenship. As soon as they have PR status and are living in Canada, they can apply. That's because the children have a...

Yes, you can do all of that in Canada, with an address in the USA on the application. That's not a problem.

Yes, you are a citizen based on your father's birth in Canada. Under the original Citizenship Act, a naturalized Canadian citizen lost his/her citizenship if absent from Canada for six consecutive years. That won't affect your application.

I think it all depends on your MP. My spouse received a letter and nice folder to hold the Citizenship Certificate, similar to this: http://clubrunner.blob.core.windows.net/00000000169/PhotoAlbum/1st-annual-volunteer-appreciation-brunch-april-10th-2016/photo-6.jpg A friend in a different...
