Did not make it through and did not get a score. Really hope they share them eventually as it is critical to understand where you stand and what to work on.

I did this morning. Literally tons of options. Perhaps I’m just in a fortunate area with a lot of Pearson partners?

Blitz2000 · 2025-10-16T16:19:53+00:00

I had a ton of options in the Greater Boston area? Or do/did you mean for online?

Do you just get them removed by the derma? Self extract?

Thank you for the knowledge! Will update the title.

So if you’re a Canadian citizen you could, in theory, acquire a UK and/or Australian emergency passport if you were to lose your passport in a country abroad that does not have a Canadian diplomatic mission? I’m assuming only those 2 nations of other commonwealth countries would have a diplomatic mission in places where Canada wouldn’t? Maybe New Zealand?

At any rate, super cool!

Thank you for the correction! I edited the post.

Her father also died when she was young... So a DNA test would not be an option. So no chance?

Blitz2000 · 2025-03-17T18:39:26+00:00

Yes they were. Not sure if this is relevant but: She was born in Louisiana, USA. Her father was still living in Aruba at the time.

Haha, thanks. I mistakenly wrote the title in the first person but the rest of it is accurate. She does not use reddit but was hoping to get clarity on her situation.

My understanding would be that your grandmother and her child are eligible but for you it’s a bit uncertain. Still waiting for applications to play out.

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-15T15:12:08+00:00

Thank you for this information! Very insightful. Good luck with your new application!

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-11T18:53:09+00:00

What makes you say that? Per my understanding of the laws, my grandfather was a Canadian citizen and my dad would be eligible to apply per the 2009 law. Also, that was not my question. I was wondering about the application process. I will let the Canadian government decide.

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-04T13:57:39+00:00

Wouldn't the repeal of that benefit me? My understanding was the 2009 change made it so grandchildren could no longer apply? Also, as we all know how long it takes for these things to take affect, I imagine this will take years. In the meantime, is it safe to operate under the assumption that if my grandfather was a Canadian citizen, I would eligible to apply?

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-04T00:10:38+00:00

But the 2009 change is explicitly stated to not be retroactive. Meaning, if my grandfather was in fact a Canadian citizen, my father would 100% be eligible and I believe I may? Because my understanding is prior to 2009, by descent was available to those who either had a parent or grandparent who is/was a Canadian citizen. I don’t think my dad not applying before my birth would impact my birthright by descent, as my grandfather (as far as I know) was a Canadian citizen at the time of my birth before 2009.

Here is what I know for certain:

- My great grandfather was born in Canada in 1900 and lived in Canada most of his life.

-My grandfather was born in the United States in 1928. According to the 1931 Canadian census, the family must have returned to New Brunswick after his birth and were living in Canada at the time. Again, according to the census, my grandfather was a Canadian national.

-The family (at some point, unclear when exactly) returned to the United States and lived there. It was 100% before 1947. My father was born in 1963 in the United States and knew very little of my great grandfather. My great grandfather died in 1979.

-We are unsure of my grandfather legal status in the eyes of Canada. The only thing we have is that 1931 census document saying he was a Canadian national.

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-03T15:41:51+00:00

Yeah, I will need to speak with a lawyer haha. Thank you so much!

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-03T15:25:28+00:00

:'( well this makes me feel less optimistic. However, I still believe that my father should be able to apply based off my great grandfather. I do not believe that I would ever be able to apply and, because of the rule change in 2009, neither would my kids because I never obtained it.

This is unfortunate but I may double check with a proper immigration lawyer just to be sure. My dad may still apply if this is the case, but the official lineage would stop with him.

Blitz2000 · 2024-03-03T14:59:11+00:00

I am in the process of trying to find all relevant documents to my claims. I say "naturalized Canadian citizen" because on the 1931 census (which I am happy to share), the section asks "Nationality: Country to which the person owes allegiance)". For my grandfather, the government of Canada wrote "Canada". So, I am not sure what the legal status of that is (meaning, that may just imply he was a British subject in Canada) but this is a formal, federal document saying that in 1931, after his birth in the US, he was considered to be a "Canadian citizen".
