Hello,
I am a U.K citizen born in 1964 who moved to Canada in 1964. I spent my whole life in Canada but never applied for Canadian citizenship until 2006 and I was granted citizenship in 2007.
Now the issue is that I am not currently residing in Canada and I have not since December 24, 2004. I moved to South Africa in 2004 to marry a South African with the intention of moving back to Canada with my family. I am still married but separated and my ex-wife lives in the U.K. For financial reasons I stayed on in South Africa and I wish to know if my Canadian citizenship still stands as I wish to return to Canada. I have a Canadian born brother in Toronto who has asked me to come back and I am very serious about returning.
Can you possible tell me if my Canadian citizenship is still valid or will I have to get my brother to sponsor me. I will be able to get work as I am skilled. for a passport before I return to Canada? Will That be an issue? Would you recommend that I apply
If you wish any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Chris Piggins
