Hello-

I recently had my application for Proof of Citizenship returned, due to how Section 8 was filled out. First, my story:
-all 4 of my grandparents were born in Canada
-my mum was born in Canada (1956)
-my dad was born in the States though his parents were Canadian, he never received citizenship
-my parents were married in Canada

My application was flagged because I did not fill out the following questions for my dad:
-How did this parent obtain Canadian citizenship?
-Canadian Certificate Number
-On what date did this parent first enter Canada to live?
-Did this parent leave Canada for more than one year before 1977?

So here is my question:
-was I supposed to leave this entire section blank for my dad since he isn't Canadian? Should my mum be the only parent listed on my application?
-was it returned simply because it was blank and I didn't write "N/A"?
-am I not eligible for citizenship because only one of my parents is Canadian? (this doesn't seem right)

Thank you so much in advance for the help!

Fill in the missing blanks. Do not leave any question unanswered, if question is not applicable write N.A or N/A as per what is mentioned on the form and resend it back. U will be ok.

Thanks, will do.

Perhaps a dumb question, but then on a check box that says:

"Did this parent leave Canada for more than one year before 1977?", do I check yes or no?
----My father never lived in Canada (he was born in the states in 1952, married in Canada in 1976), so what is the correct way to answer this?

Just manually write beside the box N/A.
