Dual citizen?

[Sideoutslam@gmail]

My mother was born in the states her parents are canadian..she applied for proof of citizenship and got it..its says "effective since" then her birth date so supposedly she was a citizen when I was born (1991) am I a citizen too? Already applied just curious what y'all have to say (I am dating a Canadian and am nervous about my citizenship status)

Also there is nothing on her proof saying I'm NOT a citizen

Most likely not. Since she was born outside Canada she is first generation and if you were born outside you are the second generation born outside.

But I was born before the 2009 law change?

1. Your mother has asked for her citizenship proof after you were born (and most likely after 2009)
2. I am only assuming, but most likely your mother was born after 1947
3. Assumption again but most likely your grand parents were not on a Canadian mission in USA when your mother was born.

But then again check if you do not fall under any of those exceptions that are there.

As I might be wrong there. Check carefully what does apply to you.
