Looks like Canada will be restoring jus sanguinis, or citizenship by descent after the current laws were ruled unconstitutional. The current rules are based on where the parent or child is born. This has lead to a bunch of children of Canadian citizens being born with no citizenship at all.

I’m glad this is getting resolved because I’ve been in limbo my entire adult life, where Canadian immigration gets upset at me for not entering Canada on a Canadian passport and Canadian Citizenship services keeps asking for more documentation that doesn’t appear possible to produce. It’s complicated because there are three agencies (the third one being the military) which all think it’s the other one’s job to resolve the problem.

My problem was number 9 in this list, my father was a ‘military brat’.
