yes, her birth certificate states her father is canadian and so does her death record.
she was born in 1942..and not out of wedlock. her mother was not canadian.
we also have census records showing his father and mother were both canadian (my mothers grandfather and grandmother).
we have records showing the canadian family line all the way back to 1869.
on her father (my grandfather) we have a ontario birth registration - showing that her father was born here in canada
plus her birth certificate showing he is canadian and her death record also states he was canadian
her twin sister (who was born 8 minutes AFTER my mother was born) is still living - and we are not SURE if the hospital was doing their job back in 1942, and upon my mothers birth -
the hospital was SUPPOSE to report their births to canada. SO..
i called the immigration call center and explained the situation. i was directed to start a search for records form (which I did) - because as i just stated..we do not know for sure if their births were EVER reported to canada. now we are filling out this form and we are EXPECTING to get a letter back stating their births were not reported.
here lies the confusion - we have more than ample proof to prove the canadian heritage. but according to the call center, they do not issue a certificate of canadian citizenship on a person that is desceased. but i was told that even though my mother is deceased, and she cannot get a certificate - that her birth will be reported to canada and she will be listed as canadian.
the problem is - once this happens - how or what kind of proof do I get that she is listed as canadian?? what kind of documentation will i recieve so that i can in turn activate a dual citizenship?
