My mother and father were born in Ontario in the 1920's.
My mother and father moved to USA in the 1950's due to my father's job.
As was common in that era, both parents became a naturalized US citizens. This would have been prior to 1960.
At that time, they did not take any steps to formally renounce his Canadian citizenship, except what would have been required to become a naturalized US citizen.
I was born in Europe in the 1960's as a product of this marriage.
I am a US citizen but my family moved back to Canada in the late 1960's, where I grew up and lived until age 30. I had permanent resident status.
My Canadian-born mother and father died over the past several years. they were both naturalized US citizens at the time of their death.
I am of the first generation born abroad to a mother and father who were both born in Canada.
I now live in the US. If I applied for a certificate of citizenship with all of the proper documents, would I receive it?

1. Yes, you apply for proof of citizenship, you will require your long form birth certificate and one of your parents birth certificates.

I agree. You are a Canadian citizen due to the changes to the Citizenship Act that took effect in 2009.
