I'll give you 1931 if you want to pedantic, but you can also argue 1982 is when it stopped being a dominion. At this point, kind of with the 54.40 or fight people if independence means nothing. As an ethnic American I am just waiting to be liberated. If the USA struggles with unrest and breaks...

I have a non-Canadian spouse who is American (she's going to get PR soon). What if we lived next to the border in say Point Roberts/New Hampshire were you can just walk across the border into Canada every day. Would this count as physical presence each day entering Canada, or is there a midnight...

I spoke to Marc Miller's office and a conservative senator's clerk. Child is going to be grandfathered as a citizen, the presence test is for those born after C-71 passes. The Senate wants children who receive citizenship after their adoption is complete to be exempt from the substantial...

They can freedom of information all documents related to his immigration. Takes about 8 months. It's shocking what I got back in detail for my family from around this time. It will have all the numbers. I think from the public naturalization lists he is a citizen, but it's a common name. The...

They probably are a Canadian citizen in 8 days. Be nicer to people. I found a matching name naturalized, but agree that's for another archive site. Citizenship will transmit to them.

I just want to bump this thread to the haters. I haven't lived in Canada yet, but it's likely my child born abroad will become Canadian too with chain migration. Canada has only existed since 1950, so it's fair that it goes all the way back. I wanted to clarify too about what matters. If a...

Turns out I am today, so all of this is moot. Mother was already registered and confused me. It's going to take too long to sort to take the job offer, but at least I can drain the system if I need to in the future. Nobody is having fun here. :-(

Sorry, meant Liberals. Lived in UK too long. It's all communism to me. Better dead than red.

Yes, surprisingly seriously. :-) This is the discussion I was looking for, good, bad, or ugly. That seems like the winner for the adoption idea, but I still am not sure it wouldn't work if the angle was obfuscated a bit. The circumvent term seems to be a pretty solid argument for the...

Nice condescending comment. That makes perfect sense. You are a patent lawyer, you shouldn't need to consult a tax lawyer with all of that experience in law.

Thank you for your absolutely pointless comment about something that is completely none of your business. I was not looking for sympathy, rather a legal discussion. No need to be insufferable. I've gone through the immigration process in five different countries already, not including the US...

It might mean the same thing in practice, but it's not the same thing in logic. There are two things it states, one, my mother acted as a parent. She did. Secondly, there would be a genuine parent child relationship. There wouldn't be if I disown her, but there would be once she reowns me via...

Your answer is appreciated, but I never said I supported Trump. I took a shot at the American celebrity circlejerk and the quite regressive NDP.

Do you have a link to statute stating this? I don't see this specific line. I see this here: B. Citizenship to Adopted Children at Least 18 Years of Age As discussed earlier, Bill C-14 grants a right of citizenship to a person at least 18 years of age who is adopted abroad by a Canadian...

I am an American born in 1983 in the US to a mother who was born in the US to Canadian parents. My mother born in 1957 did not realize until recently she was a citizen. Now she is applying for her certificate. It says on the cic.gc.ca site that since she didn't register her citizenship until...
