Yes, I am confused as well.
I'm guessing Canada has recently changed it's laws surrounding citizenship, as I have never heard about this until now. And you would think I would have. Someone would have said something or it would have been in the news. I mean, I grew up a half an hour's drive to the border.
My Mom told me years ago that had my sister or I been a boy she would have made the drive across the border to give birth in order for us to have dual citizenship. She wanted us to be able to avoid a draft, if needed. Since we were female that drive was never made and, well...here I am. But apparently now all one needs is a Canadian mother? What if she were to become a US citizen, as she's contemplated for years? What would that mean for me? Would I lose my duality?
I am not completely sure that this is even true. I've seen no proof. I don't know what would constitute proof for me, short of the Queen herself notifying me of my status. Or maybe a mountie giving me a heads up, not that they're exactly roaming the streets of Sarnia. Nor am I aware of the exact ramifications of such a possibility. Does it mean I could move there without the hassle of extensive paperwork? Not that I'm dying to take up residence in the land of slow drivers and fashion that's a decade late. (I say that with love.)
Perhaps I should research this more.
