Can a newborn Canadian citizen renounce the citizenship

[Bs65]

Not sure why someone out of the blue resurrected a 2.5 year old thread but never mind. Seems that if citizenship has been revoked then an individual can reapply to reverse that at some point subject to conditions.

As said in the posts from 2 plus years ago unless it is a requirement with a country that does not allow dual citizenship and the parents are insistent anyway regardless to renounce then from a personal view if I had reached the age of majority and found out my Canadian citizenship had been renounced for no good reason my relationship with my parents might become pretty frosty for a while.

looks like it is possible to renounce the citizenship of minor as per http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/cit/overview/renunciation.asp section 7.1

I'm not sure why this thread was resurrected either, but since I took part in the original discussion, I'm doing so again.

1) I don't think that parents can renounce Canadian citizenship on behalf of their minor child. They can ignore their child's Canadian citizenship, such as by not applying for a Certificate of Citizenship or passport, but they can't make it disappear.
2) I don't think that a person who was born in Canada, then adopted internationally, would lose his/her right to Canadian citizenship. I have seen questions on here from at least one person who was born in Canada, but adopted and raised in the USA. He would have to establish his link to his original name with adoption forms, etc., but there's no reason to think he wouldn't be a Canadian citizen.
3) A person can apply to resume citizenship that was previously renounced IF the person has applied for and received PR status. A resumption is considered to be a "grant" of citizenship.

The bulk of the Lost Canadians were given Canadian citizenship by the 2009 and 2015 changes to the Citizenship Act. All that remain are the new Lost Canadians...those created by the limitation on citizenship by descent to the first generation born abroad.

I was unaware that this is a two year old thread. Had I have known, I would not have responded. But since I'm now "in"...

The changes to the citizenship laws still left thousands of Lost Canadians remaining. It was hoped that C-6 would address this issue once and for all, but alas, it does not. (As you said, it only created a new set of Lost Canadians to join the old.)

I am aware of no other country where a passport is not proof of citizenship. Our citizenship laws are so complicated that everyone's status as a citizen is "provisional" -- the only 100% sure way to know one's citizenship status is when Government determines someone not to be a citizen (as that's not "provisional" at all).
