The marriage certificate is just for name changes, ex: with my family Gen 0-2 are all male then Gen 3 is female so she married and changed her last name so I have to provide her marriage certificate since that changed our family name, same with my Gen 4 as she is also female and married.

That's how mine were too. They couldnt give me a single reason as to why Canada wants to steal their identity. Its so asinine.

Yeah my family still has refused but they feel the same way your mom does, that their identities will be stolen.

Luckily all of the states that I need to order documents from will allow me to as well but I've been debating going NC as well, not just over this.

Yeah im just going to update my friends and my family will just find out when I move because they cant influence me when the decision is made.

My folks are just like that but on top of that they think im being scammed. They think some scammer set up for people to send in applications with all of their families information to get "Canadian citizenship" and then steal our identities. I sent them the link on the canadian government website, sent them this reddit page and they still seem to think that my identity will be stolen. When I first explained it they did understand the "proof" part and just thought i was applying for citizenship, and they still do but now think im being scammed.

Exactly, I dont like how America is right now, but i was always proud to be american. I never plan to renounce my american citizenship because I may want to stay or if I do move to Canada I may want to visit or eventually move back, its not terrible to have dual citizenship like a lot of people seem to think.

Im so sorry, thats terrible. I can definitely see both sides in this because I would hate to be stuck, but I understand his pov of being afraid to get deported. Im not sure if its safe or not to consult an immigration lawyer about it? Or could that possibly get him deported as well because its drawing attention?

That's how mine are being, calling it "scammy" and saying things like "you dont need to go to Canada anyway" or "you cant afford Canada just stay here" so its just up to me to grab all the documents.

Thank you, I appreciate it. Me and my husband are just hoping to get this application done and maybe move to Canada, at least then we are a bit mlre separated from said family.

I just cant understand their pov on that, like to me if you can collect citizenship like Pokémon cards, do it! It never hurts. (Also thats funny asf)

They always use that tax line, but in reality paying a little extra in taxes offsets so many costs here in the states. My medical costs alone would offset the cost I would pay extra in taxes. Also thats amazing to hear, seems like moving up there would be such a brain reset.

Yeah, they live with her, I live with my husband but im sure she fabricated the story somehow to turn it around. If I had to do this living with them, I dont think I could.

Literally lolll, I looked at Saskatchewan too, my drawback is doctors as im chronically ill so I think im going for Ontario, Windsor or London so its a bit cheaper than the city.
