Hello everybody.
I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me know if I can qualify for Canadian citizenship through my paternal grandfather.
My great-grandfather went to Saskatchewan after serving in WW1 and set up a settlement way up north.
His son, my grandfather was born there in the 20s, so I believe he became a citizen automatically in 1947. My grandfather came back to the UK before WW2 and had 4 children, including my father. Unfortunately my grandfather died in 1976 in England after suffering for many years from injuries incurred in the war. I don't know if he ever applied for Canadian citizenship, but I imagine he was automatically Canadian through his place of birth in Saskatchewan.
My father was born in London, England, in 1945. He has never formally applied for Canadian citizenship and has a British passport, but after some research it seems that he automatically obtained Canadian citizenship in 2009 despite his birth never having been registered at a Canadian consulate.
I was born in 1970 in the US, unfortunately, but have lived in France for the last 25 years.
Could I have a claim for Canadian citizenship?
Many thanks for any advice or information!
