I suppose here I'm just confirming what I expect to be the case (from reading in various places).
I've recently had a child born abroad and would, of course, like to get citizenship for the wee one.
My situation: I was born abroad, but family was/is all Canadian (for well over a hundred years, not that that makes a difference I guess) - my parents were abroad briefly for graduate school. Returned to Canada when I was less than a year old.
As far as I read the docs and the law, if I were _naturalized_, I would be able to do so. But I believe my status was that I was 'registered as birth abroad' as both parents Canadian. No, I'm not abroad right now on service with the Canadian or provincial/territorial governments, but with an international organization.
Unfortunately we were not able to arrange for birth in Canada due to medical limitations.
Any thoughts? Any other avenues to pursue on this?
