1. My father was born in Germany in 1960 and moved to Canada in 1965 with his family (all Germans)
2. In November 1970 my father and his family became full naturalized citizens of Canada (have certificate)
3. My father therefore automatically forfeited his German citizenship immediately on acquisition of Canadian citizenship
4. In 1973 my father left Canada and returned sporadically over the next 10 years
5. My father and mother (from New Zealand) acquired Australian citizenship in 1985
6. I was born in 1993 in Australia
7. My father never renounced his Canadian citizenship and my mother her New Zealand citizenship respectively. Both are dual citizens
Based on the above, I’m seeking confirmation that my father being born outside of Canada (but having been naturalized in 1970) and having spent the last 40 years residing in Australia, if it precludes me in any way from taking up citizenship be decent now?
