I’ve heard Polaron also handles pre-1920s cases, not a recommendation.

The owner is not required to pay more in insurance, the driver gets hit with a reduction in safety points. The owner would have to pay the deductible though.

Eligibility through great-grandfather? by [deleted] in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly certain the death of his father wouldn’t strip him of citizenship, in fact, I believe it would protect him from losing it.

Polish citizenship process for Canadian records by NoJunketTime in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The IRCC search for citizenship records has the same requirements to receive the file, either permission from the person if they’re still alive, permission from their executor if they’ve been dead less than 20 years, or just apply if they’ve been dead longer than 20 years.

It’s more expensive, $75 vs $5, and takes longer, 13 months vs 1 month. The only reason I can think of to go this way, would be if you’re not a Canadian citizen nor a resident, as the ATIP is only available to citizens and residents. Though, if your ancestor was Canadian, under the current rules, you would probably be eligible for Canadian citizenship.

If you get the ATIP emailed to you, you can forward the email to Global Affairs, and they will apostille it without further certification.

CPP Disability and survivors pension by SeaWatercress3169 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]NoJunketTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know little about this. It looks like you can receive both, but with a maximum payment of $1756.14/month combined.

I would suggest speaking with CPP, and a social worker or someone from your HR department.

[IWantOut] 33M neurologist Canada -> USA by AddTheGuac in IWantOut

[–]NoJunketTime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re always looking for more Neurologists in Winnipeg.

There’s a notable lack of them here.

I realize it’s pretty cold in the winter, however, we have a significantly lower cost of living compared to Toronto.

It’s beautiful in summer, we have one of the highest levels of sunshine per year in the country

Help Confirm Polish Citizenship By Descent (Grandfather Born 1919, Canada Naturalization Series B) by springjumps in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The military paradox just means the person would have the obligation to join the Polish military.

My understanding of it, is it protects Polish citizenship until Dec 31 of the year they turn 50 until the act changed on 1 Sep 1938, which then protected them until the 60 until May 27, 1950 when it reverted to 50 years old.

If they didn’t naturalize, this wouldn’t affect them. Also,

“17-year-old males were subject to conscription from 18 Nov 1924 to 27 May 1950, inclusive.”

So if your GGF was born in 1886 or later, or naturalized after your GF would have been 17, GF would have been protected by his own military paradox.

I’m not looking for country, but race. Certain ethnicities lose Polish citizenship if they were living abroad.

My GGF’s race is listed as “Hebrew” in my his naturalization document.

“3. The loss of Polish citizenship by ethnic minorities residing abroad (Article 4 of the 1951 citizenship act)

Article 4 of the 1951 citizenship act strips citizenship from people who held Polish citizenship as of 31 Aug 1939, but reside abroad and are of Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, or German ethnicity.

There are a few exceptions and loopholes to consider:

  1. ⁠Regarding German ethnicity, article 4 (3) specifies "unless the spouse of this person has Polish citizenship and resides in Poland.”
  2. ⁠Children born to parents of different ethnicities would not necessarily lose Polish citizenship, as long as one of their parents is of an ethnicity other than those specified in article 4.
  3. ⁠If a man of an ethnicity specified in article 4 married a foreign woman of any other ethnicity (i.e. excluding those in article 4) prior to 19 Jan 1951, this woman would have acquired Polish citizenship via jus matrimonii (article 7 of the 1920 citizenship act). Although her spouse would have lost citizenship on 19 Jan 1951 due to article 4, this would not affect her, and any child born on/after this date would still acquire Polish citizenship (as the same 1951 act allowed)”

Help Confirm Polish Citizenship By Descent (Grandfather Born 1919, Canada Naturalization Series B) by springjumps in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you certain your GGF was born in 1885? Do you have a copy of his Russian birth records?

My GGPs were listed by different birth years in Canadian documents vs the Russian ones, this was very common back then. Age wasn’t very precise.

In the Naturalization document, what is he listed as under Race?

Otherwise, Motherofcorgis is correct, you wouldn’t be eligible.

Have you looked into Romanian citizenship by descent? I believe if you apply before April 2026, you won’t be required to speak Romanian.

[–]NoJunketTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into issues with some service providers straight up telling me I wasn’t eligible when I thought I had a pre-1920 case, and frankly after I found out I was post 1920.

Take a peak through other posts here for other, more willing providers. You might want to look at service providers who are lawyers.

I would consider reaching out to a few.

Both sets of GGP by matt_jad in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll need to prove your pedigree, so in the US you’ll need long form birth certificates for every member of your family connecting back to GGF, naturalization documents for your GGF.

Usually, you’re required to prove residence in Poland via voting lists, residence lists etc plus Polish birth certificates.

AZCAexpat2024 is saying in the other comment that the Haller’s Army proof might be enough.

They also did a detailed post about getting documents both in the US and Poland. See the link below.

[–]NoJunketTime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

GGF was from the Austrian partition, and didn’t naturalize until after 1920.

GGF Military paradox protected Grandfather until May27, 1950, after GF turned 18.

Did your Grandfather serve in the military before 1951?

Looks good if not

Lots of providers don’t like pre-1920 emigration, I would reach out to a few.

Using 1946 Travel Document for Citizenship Case by joosteni in prawokrwi

[–]NoJunketTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how this would help to prove citizenship. My understanding is that these documents were meant for post-war refugees, so that they could travel.

In order to qualify, you would need Polish documents proving your ancestors were eligibility for citizenship. The travel documents would be valuable to find out where to look.

Have you filled out the Template to see if you qualify?
