It sounds like they are introducing piecemeal legislation in the interim, in order to comply with the June 19th date. I think it's unfortunate that they are only considering post-2009 cases (although they are realistically, the most important/relevant). I think it's important to determine a...

I think this approach is a bit narrow minded. Many of the 'Lost Canadians' were under the assumption that they had citizenship by virtue of having a parent born in Canada. The 1947 Act featured antiquated laws regarding domicile requirements, registering births in extremely limited time-frames...

It would be the first step needed in order for the lawsuit to have any merit. If the OP cannot prove their citizenship lineage, then they'd have no standing to appeal in the first place. I'd argue there's a good case here. If you look at the legal context from 1977 forward, there were sex-based...

Did your Grandfather ever get proof of his Canadian citizenship? That seems like your first step here.

Your explanation does make sense, which would be an unfortunate outcome for me. I figured it was worth a shot to apply, regardless. If I may ask, however, do you have any insight regarding my circumstances with the Am I Canadian tool? I guess I ultimately got hung up on the answer "One of my...

My Father received his citizenship certificate a few years ago, retroactive to 1947 (and not because of the 2009/2015 changes, I'd argue). I included that, a letter to explain the circumstances, as well as proof of his domicile/various property acquisitions throughout the years in my...

Thanks @hawk39, your research here is incredibly detailed! I would argue that I would not fall under 1(g) of the act (which was introduced in 2009, and limits second generation citizenship), as I was considerded a Canadian citizen under the prior legislations, before 2009. I would guess that...

I read that having "Canadian domicile" on one's 24th birthday was an acceptable alternative for retaining citizenship under the 1947 act. My father's primary residence was in Canada during that time. Would this change anything?

Hi all, I was hoping to get some insight as to whether I am a Canadian citizen by descent. I have done some reading on the 1947 and 1977 Citizenship Acts, but I am still confused about my specific situation. Below is my family's scenario, to the best of my knowledge: -My grandfather was born in...
