Even though I am Canadian, both of my parents were born in the UK in the 1920's. Can I therefore claim British citizenship in addition to my Canadian citizenship? Can anyone enlighten me on this?

If I am eligible, I will take advantage of it and get British citizenship as well.

The reason: He had spent many months in Iraq fighting for the British Army. :( [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

I'm not sure Jim. Given that both your parents are British, coupled with the fact that they seem to be giving away British passports in cereal boxes these days, I would have thought it would not be a problem. However, I think you will probably have to spend at least a few years here first.
