    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Prednisone won out that day! Don't think we could have just walked into a pharmacy to get that.

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    You made the comment about Australians being lucky; one such Australian was not so lucky. I completely outlined that my friend was having an issue (as a Kaiser member I have access to an advice nurse for well...advice), not me, nor did I ask an advice nurse to make any prescription for my...

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Canuck78, meant to follow up to part of your quote above. Went to my wife's (US/Australian Citizenship) brother's wedding in May of 2019 in Australia. On the wedding day (well, actually later in the night) my wife was having some vision issues, like she couldn't see for a spell (turns out it...

    Citizenship by Descent, grandfather

    Is your mother still alive? She could get Canadian citizenship if not born in Canada. But, even if she did get Canadian citizenship that way (via her father, your granddad), I don't think you can get citizenship unless you are a minor.

    When my mother moved from Canada to the UK in 1934 did she automatically become British?

    Hawk was very helpful to me also. As you Fitz, I have a similar situation ('cept my mom went from Canada to the USA with her father being naturalized along with my mom when she was a minor in 1941). I got my Proof of Canadian Citizenship (and then passport later) using just my mom's birth...

    Proof of citizenship certificate

    Shannel, I'm assuming there's a fee for this? I used a credit card for my Proof of Canadian Citizenship and when I knew everything was good, was when I saw the charge on my credit card statement.

    Dual Citizenship

    It did many, many decades ago; I am a product of that; Lost Canadians. Recent legislation, 2004 and 2009 (I think), corrected that.

    Getting proof of citizenship

    I got my mom's birth certificate without any trouble to use for my Proof of Citizenship (USA born, mother was born in Canada, lost her Canadian citizenship at 12 years old I think it was when her dad, my granddad, became a Naturalized US Citizen in 1941). And yes, I was able to get my...

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Done! Passport arrived today; just about seven months all toll (told) after applying for my Proof of Canadian Citizenship Cert and then Passport Application. Slight snag as I was applying for the passport; got my app all filled out, other paperwork, photos, Proof of Citizenship Cert (hard...

    Simultaneously Possess US and BC Driving Licenses?

    I disagree Andy in some respects and in the States; it's all about jurisdiction. I wouldn't want the Feds in the US managing all of that. It's just that here it kinda goes, Fed, State, County, City. And to a large extent, the "quality" of professional is mostly in that order. If you get...

    Simultaneously Possess US and BC Driving Licenses?

    Ha, change of heart? The mo' fo' is just shouting out BS...what a wankfest. To the officer's credit, he probably has to deal with a lot of the entitled (monied, celebrity, et al) in Beverly Hills. When he realized this guy really has his $hit together, the officer should have just bowed out...

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Thanks trumprefugee, I like your blog. I don't have a real "nut" out for Trump, but definitely a *yawn* and *rolls eyes.* Where Trump seems to appease, or is appealing to, the ultra-right politically, Reagan had the same with the religious-right which I think was much more manageable to engage...

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Good question (except the ageist part--would it matter if I was male or female?). First off, I'm in my late 50's, and at the time I originally made an inquiry was 15 or more years ago, so that would have been in my early 40's. Also, it was at a border crossing last summer that one of the...

    My Mom was born in Canada

    This is my story: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/canadian-citizenship-really-oh-my.572663/ I just got my Proof of Canadian Citizenship Certificate the middle of last month, now in the process of getting my Canadian Passport. Mom was born in Canada in...

    Canadian Citizenship?...Really?...Oh My

    Well, pretty much spot on for processing of my Proof a Citizenship Certificate from time of my mailing to Canada: five months total. I checked every so often online about my processing status and today, got this: We sent your citizenship certificate on January 10, 2019 to: *#@+ O#* K^@$*# Dr ...
