I found this on the Govt of Canada's official travel website, with a publishing date of 2012: http://travel.gc.ca/docs/publications/dual_citizenship-en.pdf "Are you a Canadian citizen?" "You may be a Canadian citizen if you were born outside Canada between January 1, 1947, and April 16, 2009...

Ok, thank you for this information Dattad! Itis very encouraging! Interestingly enough, I have found jobs here in the states thru TEKSystems in the past.

Hi Scylla! Yes this is great info. This is more or less what I was planning on doing - showing up with my luggage and just "living" out of a hotel room while I network and look for work. I was going to get a Montreal cell phone and then talk to recruiters who know I need sponsorship. That way, I...

Hi Dattad, Thank you for your reply, yes you are right, now that I think about it, I do believe I will be able to get a good IT job once I am there. I think my main concern is "How do I get there when I dont have a job lined up, and I have to able to live there first in order to get the job". I...

Hi Scylla, I agree with what you say, and actually I also agree with the rule in general, that people without a significant connection or commitment to Canada, should not be allowed to just claim a citizenship; I just think that there should be one final grandfathering in of people who were...

Ok, so I contacted my grandmother, she has my grandfather's Alberta birth certificate. My mother is going to follow the process to claim her citizenship card (and so is her sister), and then after that, I can apply, although I am 99% certain that I will be denied, simply due to the fact that I...

Can anyone describe the actual definition of skillset 2147? I am a computer engineer here in the US, with close to 14 years of paid verifiable experience, and I am fluent in both English and French. But the label "computer engineer" is somewhat broad and vague to me. I have looked on the CIC...

I will post updates here in this thread as they happen.

Thanks Scylla - I guess all I can do is apply...my mother is going to apply (I know she will get her Cert) and then I can apply as well. If I dont get the Cert - then C'est La Vie...

Also, when it tells me that I am "likely not a citizen", it gives you a whole list of reasons why I might not be one, and this is one that looks like it applies to me: "You are of the second or subsequent generation born outside Canada to a Canadian parent between January 1, 1947, and February...

Hi Scylla, Thank you for your reply! Yes I actually have seen that before, and have gone thru the mini-quiz; it does say that "it appears that you are not a Canadian citizen", but then it tells me that I have the option to apply for Proof of Canadian Citizenship. Which, I am willing to do...

Hi everyone, This is a very useful website and forum, and I am glad that I found it. I am wondering if the "Second-Generation Abroad" rules apply to me or not. I have never lived in Canada, although I have visited, and I am interested in moving to Canada permanently. Here is the situation -...

Hi everyone, This is a very useful website and forum, and I am glad that I found it. I have a question similar to that of the original poster. I have never lived in Canada, although I have visited, and I am interested in moving to Canada permanently. My grandfather was born in 1920 in...
