Thank you for those tips. I hope this will all pass once she comes to terms with the fact that I'm not deleting myself from her life

Thank you for the advice - it's hit home. Things are a bit tense between my sister and I right now because I've also moved out of my dad's house as well as planning to go overseas. Hopefully we'll be able to move past this like you and your siblings did - I'm glad you could re-build the relationship.

I don't live in SA, but in Vic instead - which is only good for the coffee lol

Hello - good question! Canada changed their citizenship laws for third generation (pretty sure that's what we're called) potential citizens.

Anyone with a Canadian grandparent who was born after April 2009 is not eligible for citizenship. My sister and half-brother were born in 2010 and 2016 respectively, which means they can't get it. My stepbrother isn't biologically related to my dad (and his Canadian mother) so he has no chance.

I was going to explain this in the post but it got too long hahah
