I've been doing a lot of research to answer my questions but I'm having a hard time finding answers.
I was born (in wedlock) in 1998, in the United States, to an American mother and Canadian-born father (who had Canadian citizenship). I'm pretty sure this means I have Canadian citizenship by descent (I'm 1st generation), but I am unsure if my birth was ever registered in Canada. I have never lived in Canada but I have aunts and uncles there. I am able to obtain proof of my citizenship if my birth was not registered in Canada? As far as I know, there are no records of my birth or citizenship status in Canada. What are the steps I need to take in order to obtain proof of or retain my Canadian citizenship?
Thank you so much for your help!
