C-3 Passage Clarification As It Relates to Citizenship of Those Born Before Its Passsage
Can someone clarify Canadian Citizenship C-3 for me? I was born before its passage, obviously, and I thought that meant it didn’t affect me. Is this true? Would I still qualify given the following?
My second and third-great-grandparents were Canadian citizens.
I’m unaware of any renunciations in my line, but my second-great-grandfather *did* apply for U.S. citizenship at some point.
My two lines are as follows:
The common lineages are as follows:
M: born 1960 in the U.S.
GF: born 1932 in the U.S.
GGF: born 1908 in the U.S.
And this is where it splits:
GGGF: born 11 Jan 1873 in Tracadie, Antigonish, NS, CAN
GGGM: born 12 Mar 1881 in Charlotte, NB, CAN
Thanks all!
