Am I eligible for a Canadian Passport?

[Nikkilucas85]

Hello,

Could somebody please advise whether I would be eligible for a Canadian passport?

I was born in Canada in 1985 and moved to England when I was 3. Although my parents are British, they lived in Canada over eight years and both gained official citizenship.

Because they are Canadian citizens and I was born there, does this make me Canadian?

Thank you so much,
Nicola

Yes - you're Canadian by virtue of being born in Canada.

Thank you very much for your swift response.

Could you best advise where I go from here? Is it true I need to obtain my citizenship card before I proceed with my passport application?

Thanks,
Nicola

No, your Canadian birth certificate is sufficient.

Contacting the High Commission of Canada in London and going on there website will also be helpful. You should be able to apply for a Canadian passport through them.
