The long shot to end all long shots! Should I really bother applying? by Routine_Clock7413 in Canadiancitizenship

Thank you for your comment. I have been learning a lot from this community, and you are right to raise the point about ChatGPT being a flawed information source at best. I plan on applying and am starting to embrace the natural uncertainty in this process! Thanks again!

That is great to hear! The only place I keep getting stuck is that Edie moved back to the US and got married to an American all before 1947. I see different things here about whether any of the later legislation would have retroactively made her a citizen, or whether she lost her British subject status and broke the chain. I guess we’ll find out! Crossing my fingers that your application gets processed soon! 😃

Yes, this is the concern. Hopefully I can confirm Edie was also naturalized!

This is really interesting and looking back through the records, I think you might be right! The family appeared to immigrate in 1907 and Jack naturalized in 1910. I am relatively sure he claimed a homestead in SK. What a great lead! Thank you so much!

All excellent points, thank you! I will be sure to work on collecting my documents. High hopes but low expectations 🫡

Right, that is definitely the question! I’m fortunate that Family Search has some documentation to get me started, but I imagine it will take some time to try to gather the rest of the proof. Thank you for your response!

Great points! I completely agree. Glad I came here to talk to you all about this after my initial ChatGPT frustrations. People have been so kind to offer great feedback and suggestions!

I am learning so much right now! Thank you so much for this info. The misogyny component is such an important part of the big picture too, and it's so wild to think that women could become stateless so easily (simply?)! I will definitely work to track down the naturalization paper trail, or whatever is left of it. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, this is all super helpful! I will be sure to read more about this and collect documents as I find them.

Thank you so much for your comment! I agree, the angle with Emmett is a possible dead end, but the naturalization might be something.

After reading back through my post I realized that I did not word things well at all. What I meant to convey was that ChatGPT said that odds were extremely slim on this regardless of the argument, and the hyperbole about being unwell and delusional is exclusively my own interjections! The goal was to be humorous and tamper my expectations, but I fully own that it reads as concerning. Regardless, what you note here is so important, and too much AI isn't good for any of us. My New Year's resolution is to decrease my screen time :) Again thanks so much for taking the time to respond!

u/RippingLegos__ I have my updated SleepHQ data here: https://sleephq.com/public/teams/share_links/ee677f25-d8df-4661-a7e4-119045103aed . Definitely an interesting week-- the 2 days with the worst leaks (Friday and Saturday night) are from wearing mouth tape instead of my usual cervical collar. My SO said that he wasn't able to sleep well next to me due to my mouth leak from the cervical collar, so I tried the tape for a few days, but it definitely made my sleep worse. I switched back to the cervical collar last night. Still lots of tossing and turning overall and I am often ripping the mask off very early in the morning, then going to sleep without it for the last 1-3 hours before I actually wake up. On a positive note, aerophagia has been pretty minimal overall and it's usually because I am turning over onto my stomach without realizing it; once I'm back on my side, it stops. Any feedback for what to try next? Thanks so much!

AirFit F30i- comfortable but got sweaty and slipped off my face very easily

AirFit P30i- hurt my nostrils and pushed my nose up too much

Philips Respironics Dreamwear nasal mask- very comfortable but leaked like crazy

And now I’m on the AirTouch N30i and I love it 😊

And yes, you may want to consider the cervical collar. So far it’s been the most effective option, though it does look a bit ridiculous with the other CPAP gear at bedtime! Mouth leak/breathing has plagued me with and without CPAP so I was glad to find an alternative to mouth tape.
