In 2004 my parents came to canada and misrepresented themselves and the kids to obtain citizenship. Now the government is revoking our citizenship. At that time i was 8 years old and not till now i myself found out about my true identity and what they did im 28 now and really angry at my parents for how they played with our lives and kept us in the dark . I dont even live with them due to how i was being treated and abused and was about to get married and start a future now all this happened what can i do to secure my future because if we get deported i know no one and i will be lost not knowing what to do. Can someone please guide me in the right direction
Need help or advice!!!

I'm very sorry to hear your devastating story. I encourage you to contact the law firm that generously provides these free forums for all of us. You can find their contact numbers at the top of the page. Perhaps they will offer you a free consultation. I would certainly hope that there is at least a way to salvage your citizenship, since you were a minor at the time. Good luck to you!
This seems very complex. All I can recommend is to get a good immigration lawyer. In cases of citizenship revocation, all I can say is that you can have your case presented before a federal court than just with IRCC officials. So a court rather than bureaucrats can make a decision.
BTW What type of misrepresentation did your parents do ? The court will certainly take into account the gravity of the matter and your ties to Canada make a decision.

Im trying to some how get a ID of my original identity trying to contact embassies i do have a lawyer but im afraid it wont work with his help . My sister was with me but somehow a cbsa officer was able to help her due to the fact the way my parents laid out the story into 2 separate ways but now shes a PR im trying to get my original ID so i can tell the government that im willing to fix the mistakes my parents made. My whole life ive been here and after depression and alot of suffer i found someone who guided me to the right path but never in million years i would thought something like this would ever happen
Get a good immigration lawyer as already stated. And not a consultant. Have a back up plan as well. If you plan on getting married, do so. Adds to the humanitarian aspect. Start gathering references from friends and employers. Don't know that being a minor I. This situation would count for much, but being established certainly will. Do you hold dual citizenship?
They changed names and our age and created a whole story and documents which were fraudulent
No i dont have dual citizenship just the canadian . My parents destroyed all my other ID’s from the past . I told my girlfriend everything and she is just as devastated as i am but is willing to support me and sponsor me but without my original ID i cant even apply for marriage or her sponsoring me
I'm not a lawyer by any means, but I don't believe they can revoke citizenship if you only have Canadian citizenship. The law prevents them from making you stateless. Talk tonyoir lawyer about that. And confirm you haven't still got citizenship in your home country.
My father already got deported i thank god my little sister got saved and is happily married here but my mother also put me thru such mental stress where i had a car accident but yet i was blamed for it because all she wanted from me was money she never cared about my health or my mental state . This is where my girlfriend stepped in and told me to come live with her because if i stayed with my mother i would never be able to move forward in lifeDo you have citizenship in your home country, or are you `Stateless'? If the latter, that would seem to play to your advantage regarding H&C grounds.
Maybe you should sue your parents!
Apparently, the `Stateless' issue would not apply:

Although Canada is a party to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, and the Convention says that citizenship shall not be deprived if it will make a person stateless, the Convention specifically has an exception for if the citizenship was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation:

They already revoked the refugee status and now they said next will be the citizenship tbh im really scared because if im sent to a country i know nothing about my whole life will be destroyed
Well that sucks. Still the approach I'd try.
Although it does say "May"...so it's. Its not a definite.
