I’m fairly certain that if you were in my situation and facing an avoidable, premature death because you were surrounded by brainwashed maniacs who fully believe that covid is a “hoax” because their narcissistic, wannabe dictator president told them it is that you would be doing whatever you...

Can someone explain to me in layman’s terms what the process is for people who present at a point of entry (in my case, as I live in New Hampshire, it would be a border crossing at or near the NH border) and claim asylum/refugee status? Are asylum/RS seekers typically detained while their...

Thank you so much for clarifying! This really takes a load off my back. Now I can focus on learning all about hockey, Labatt Blue, and Celine Deon in order to feel like a true Canadian! lol Seriously, though - this took a huge load off my mind. I’m now 99% confident that I was born a Canadian...

I don’t know how to chop the quote up, so I’ll just say “thank you very much for your detailed and informative response!” How bad would it be, considering these circumstances, if I just presented myself at a POE and requested refugee or asylum status or something while the applications are...

Does anyone know how to proceed if they are applying for proof of Canadian citizenship as a person born to a naturalized Canadian who has lost their proof of citizenship? Does my mom have to apply for and receive her proof of citizenship before I can apply and obtain mine? The consulate told me...

Interesting. This applies to both “asylum” and “refugee status” seekers? I’m not a lawyer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express one time, and legal stuff piques my interest in general. Thanks.

Yeah, that was my understanding in general. I’ve read in older threads here that the 1977 Act made people who left Canada for more than a year have to file to retain their citizenship before their 28th birthday, and the application I just got done filling out for proof of citizenship asked about...

2k deaths per day and climbing says otherwise. How many people have died -total - in Canada so far? There are many “3rd world” countries doing much better than the US in handling covid. Anyone with preexisting conditions (like me) is terrified to leave their house, especially with all the...

Thank you for your response. I was worried that my mother may not be a Canadian citizen now because she was only in Canada briefly, but she was told at the border in 1990 when she went to Montreal for a concert that she was a Canadian citizen. I’m just not sure how everything works with the 1977...

So maybe “asylum” isn’t appropriate, but “refugee status,” which is usually based on natural disasters/civil war, etc, might be, no? What happens when 70 million or so Trump supporters who think Biden somehow “stole” the election start shooting? Will Canada take Americans then?

When thousands of people are dying in other countries because their leadership is insane, their citizens leave in droves and other countries take them in because they recognize the danger people face if they were to stay in their home countries. I fail to see how any other country can say “no...

Thanks for the in-depth, eloquent, well-researched response...

Any idea what the consensus is on the idea that the US response to covid is so disastrous that Canada might be willing to take in US citizens who don't want to die unnecessarily from this pandemic just because we have a president who only cares about himself and suggests things like "inject...

Also - are you saying that Canadian citizens who live abroad for a while have to wait long periods of time to receive any benefits just because they weren't physically present in Canada for a while? That seems strange to me. Citizens should be entitled to, and able to obtain, services regardless...

Or just the person/people in charge of scheduling...

I just finished filling out my application for my certificate of citizenship. I'll be sending it in soon. My mother was a Canadian citizen when I was born in 1981. Not sure if I'm guaranteed to be a citizen already, but keeping my fingers crossed! Wish me luck!

Thanks for the quick response. I do not have much support here in the US, unfortunately. I really wanted to go to Nova Scotia, which is where my mother was naturalized. I've been there, and I love it. It sounds like Montreal might be a better choice, despite the fact that I basically only know...

Hypothetical: Someone born in the US in June 1981 to a mother who had been naturalized in Canada as a minor in 1974 - are they a Canadian by birth? Would they have been required to file to retain citizenship before turning 28, or did they just make it with the 2009 Act? It's all very...

I'm currently in the United States, and believe I may have dual citizenship by birth (born outside Canada to a naturalized parent). I'm on Social Security Disability and have a very limited, fixed income. If I were to move to Nova Scotia, does anyone know whether or not it would be difficult...

Hey all. I'm sure this is a fairly common question, and I'm fairly certain I know the answer, but I just wanted to see if anybody can tell me with a good degree of certainty whether or not I'm already a Canadian citizen by birth. My mother was born in CT, USA in 1960. Her parents moved her to...
