I just have a question whether this applies to me...
My parents and myself were both born outside of Canada in the Philippines. I was born 1986. Some time around 1990 my parents came to Canada. A year or two later I came to Canada (around 1991, let's say). Both my mom and dad become citizens, and through them they applied and I became a citizen as well (I have a certificate).
Now I'm turning 28 yo next year; so I was wondering do I need to take steps to retain my citizenship that I've been hearing about?
And since I became a Canadian along with my parents (or my parents first, and through them they applied for my citizenship), am I considered a second or first generation Canadian? My parents (both mom and dad) were the first ever to attain Canadian citizenship in their family.
