Hi, I just want to get some additional thoughts on this real quick.
My father was born in Canada and had citizenship since birth. I was born in the United States in 1994. My father still has Canadian citizenship today, so I assume that he had it when I was born. My question is this: does this mean that I was granted citizenship at birth? My parents don't recall doing any paperwork, but from what I've read that doesn't really matter. I've taken the "Am I Canadian?" Self-assessment test on the CIC website and it said that, based on my answers, I was most likely a citizen. I would like to get some thoughts on this. I also read something somewhere about having to maintain your citizenship by the age of 28 or you lose it, and I was wondering if that is still an active law or if that's been done away with?
