Dual Nationality

[jensaus]

Hi There,

I was born in Australia and I consider myself an Australian Citizen. I lived in the UK for 18months and as my Dad was born there I got a British passport, making me a British Citizen.

This British passport has since expired (since March 2013).

I thought it best to advise CIC of this in my cover letter. Any thoughts? Advice?

Thanks

do you an australian passport? did you give up your British Citizenship or are you planning to in the Future??

No i'm an Australian citizen and hold an Australian passport. I did however used to have a British passport when i lived in the UK (so I had dual nationality) but this passport has expired as of March 2013 and I am not renewing it.

But even if you don't renew it sir , you will still be a citizen of UK and have your own ID number. Right? I don't know what exactly to say more?

 

[jensaus]

Nevermind.......thanks for your response though

Correct. It's better to be upfront about anything like this - it will make the process smoother. I'd also provide them with a photocopy of the main ID pages from both passports for their records.

Good luck.
