I used to be a landed immigrant 40 years ago. Stayed for a few years in Canada and became a citizen, a full citizen with all the regular/normal rights of a citizen.
I then moved away and had a daughter outside Canada. She is a Canadian citizen but because she received her citizenship by descent, she cannot pass that citizenship to her children if she gives birth outside of Canada.
She is currently in Canada at university and most likely she will be there at least 5 years. I would like to find some way for her to "upgrade" her citizenship so she can also be a full citizen like me. But I've not been able to find any way to do this.
I've looked and looked and have not been able to find any way to make this happen. There should be a way as it doesnt make much sense otherwise....
I (a foreign immigrant) went to Canada and was able to obtain full Canadian citizenship (And able to pass it on).
Any number of immigrants and refugees are also able to go to Canada and after a few years, obtain the same full citizenship (And able to pass it on).
My daughters (born outside of Canada, but Canadian passport holders and citizens by descent) hopefully can do the same : stay for a few years, fill out some papers and obtain a full Canadian citizenship.
Any pointers would be much appreciated it.
