While it's unlikely that your mother registered her birth (most people wouldn't have even known it was possible), she could have done so. I did. However, as Scylla pointed out, you require her consent to find out and to get her birth certificate. I can only suggest that you write to IRCC to...

If your father was a naturalized Canadian when you were born, then, yes, you are a Canadian citizen. However, you need proof of citizenship, which you would apply for through the Canadian consulate in your country (unless you are in the USA). The application information is here...

Was your father born in Canada or did he become a naturalized Canadian citizen before you were born?

If for no other reason than the fact that your birth was not registered (as was required before 1977), it's very unlikely that you are a Canadian citizen. In fact, your father probably only became a Canadian citizen as of the changes to the Citizenship Act that took effect in 2009. That's...

That's a good point, though in this case the OP states that the children were born between the years 2009 and 2017. As of April 17, 2009, citizenship by descent was limited to the first generation born abroad. So, even if the OP's husband had been born before 1977 and his birth registered (I...

I agree. You are a Canadian citizen due to the changes to the Citizenship Act that took effect in 2009.

You may be able to find your father's baptism record at ancestry.com A friend's father was born in Quebec in 1913, and his baptism is there. The baptism record will not take the place of a birth certificate, but it may help the vital statistics office identify him. If you need assistance...

A long form has more information, such as parentage. A short form only has the basic information. I don't know about Quebec, but wallet-size certificates were eliminated in Ontario years ago. If in doubt, it is always best to order the long form. For your U.S. birth certificate, you...

I wrote: "However, before 1932, a British subject woman who married a U.S. citizen man would have been considered an alien." Hawk39 asked me to look at section 10(2) of the 1914 Act. After doing so, I agree with him that a British subject woman would not have lost British subject status by...

Parent born in Canada = Canadian citizen. You need your U.S. birth certificate (listing your parents) and a new copy (issued after 1994) of your father's birth certificate. Information on applying for a Quebec birth certificate: http://www.etatcivil.gouv.qc.ca/publications/DCCA-Birth...

Here is information on the loss of British subject status by women who married citizens of other countries...

1) As regards alexjw19, he did not acquire Canadian citizenship, because his mother was not a Canadian citizen when he was born. That is because her birth was not registered, as required before 1977. The 1977 Citizenship Act did not eliminate the registration requirement for those born abroad...

You would apply through the Canadian High Commission: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/pakistan/contact-contactez.aspx?lang=eng&menu_id=309 It would be best to contact them to ask how you should proceed.

1) Copies of ID do not need to be certified. Standard copies are fine. 2) N/A for certificate number. Put parent's date of birth as date he entered Canada. 3) You don't attend a ceremony and aren't eligible for the pass. You're just applying for a certificate proving a status you already...

As canuck_in_uk wrote, there is a difference, which is that the PR children of a Canadian citizen don't have wait three years to apply for citizenship.

I live in a border city and know many duals and "accidental" duals (born in a hospital on the other side of the border, etc.). There is widespread lack of knowledge regarding U.S. tax obligations, with many of them not even knowing that filing U.S. returns was required, not to mention all the...

It's not just reaching an income level that requires filing; it's a lot of other things. Here is the most common: do you (or you and your husband jointly) have a bank account where the balance has ever reached US$10,000? If so, the IRS requires that you 1) file a return (even if not warranted...

New Jersey notaries are not allowed to make true copies of any document, but that's not to say that you can't find one who doesn't know (or doesn't care) about that rule.

I was born and spent my working life in the U.S., then took early retirement and moved here. So, I never faced what you're talking about re: going south to make more money. In fact, if I compare the salary I received with what a person makes here in the same profession, the salary here is...

In my opinion (based on reading posts by people with experience travelling with their children born abroad), you can do one of two things, but not both: 1) Not apply for a citizenship certificate until after the trip, and use the child's non-Canadian passport and eTA to enter Canada, or 2)...
