I read a section the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 that was in effect at the time. It said that any child born in Canada was a natural born Canadian citizen unless the child was born to diplomats or other foreign government officials. As far as I know his parents were not government officials or diplomats. I have read that Canada did not recognize dual citizenship until they updated their Citizenship Act in 1977 or so. I do not think he is qualified, but that is just me.
He was born in 1970...
When I immigrated to the US in 1971 and in 1975 when I was naturalized into American citizenship dual citizenship was NOT accepted in the US...
a month before the ceremony I had to DENOUNCE my prior loyalty to my birth country, New Zealand, another British Commonwealth country as Canada was...
just as Cruz did 2 years ago..
I could not be an American citizen and a British citizen at the same time..
I could no longer use my New Zealand passport, the country of New Zealand did not recognize me as a subject or their responsibility and I had only my Alien Registration card, AKA green card, for legal documentation to allow me to reside in the US which meant for those 30 odd days I could not leave the country..I had no passport and wasn’t eligible as yet to apply for a US one..
all this was explained to me BEFORE I raised my right hand and swore that I was dissolving my connection to New Zealand..
I was now a woman without a country, a guest as yet of the US with the understanding and date that I would fulfill a connection to a new country, the US, at the upcoming naturalization ceremony...my status was American-to-be..
or on a pathway to citizenship /s
EVERYONE becoming an American citizen had to go through this process ...there was no dual citizenship..
give me a date when THIS changed..
