My Canadian Father was technically a British subject, DOB 1902. Iwas born in 1948. Am I a British subject?

To be technical, you are NOT a British subject now.  However, there is a possibility that you could have a right to become one if you so wished.\n\nIn 1982, when Margaret Thatcher's government changed the laws on British Nationality, many people who nwould have previously been entitled to British Nationality were excluded.  You say your father was 'technically a British Subject'.  If by this you can demonstrate that he was ACTUALLY a British Citizen (i.e. actually had a British passport or was entitled to one), then you would (under British Law) probably have the right to British Nationality.\n\nThis right (if proved) would be subject to US laws (I am assuming you are a US citizen) on dual nationality as described by another answerer.  In this case, it is probable that it is the US laws that would hinder your taking up of a British passport, not British laws.\n\nHowever, if you are a CANADIAN citizen, the (Canadian) laws on dual nationality are (I think) less draconian and you may be able to claim your British citizenship without affecting your Canadian citizenship rights.\n\nAs of last year, there are also now rules on demonstrating knowledge of life in Britain when applying for British Nationality.

Do you mean that you were born in South Africa and are now a British citizen?  Or are you a South African citizen trying to get a British passport?\n\nCheck the consulate.

You don't say whether you became a British citizen, but as far as the birth certificate goes, you can always request a duplicate from the state where you were born. I don't know what's involved in that, but it's possible. My own is a duplicate (my parents got it for me, so I'm unclear on the details).\n\nAs far as all the ID/passport stuff goes, it can't hurt to contact the US embassy or consulate. This is their area of expertise, so just ask them for their help and they'll give you the right info.\n\nGood luck!

Hey, wattup Doug?!\n\nI am starting to develop the opinion that even if you are born in this country you are not entitled to citizenship unless your parents are citizens.\n\nGASP!  I know, I know, and yes it's me, Ben!  The pod people haven't taken over my body, I swear!  :D

You need to be a British citizen first.

"If you were born outside Canada after February 14, 1977 and you had a parent who was Canadian at the time of your birth, you are a Canadian Citizen."\n\nFurther info and the application form are available on this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/bornout-info.html\n\nThe Canadian government also has information about Dual Citizenship on the following page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizen/dualci_e.html

Hi there!  It looks like you may have a few questions and in the end you're going to need people who have gone through this or are going through this to help.  I believe your baby can have a Canadian citizenship as well as the dual thing works well for children of Canadian/American parents.  Please check out the group link below they are many people there that will definitely answer your question that know the answer!

ask the Canadian government.they may be able to issue you one base on your citizenship information. otherwise going to the German embassy might get you arrested and deported.

First off England did not found these countries. In fact there were aboriginal people living there and England invaded these countries. In the case of Canada, the French were the first there before England.\n\nAs for the visa question, canadians can only get passports if someone's grandparent was british. For example, i dont have a passport because all my grandparents were born in canada. However, my boyfriend does have a parent because both his parents are british. \n\nIt is also easy for UK residents to get visas and entries to these countries so it is both ways.

My heritage is English (British) many generations ago and I don't want to be called English-American or British American so I sort of get what you are saying. But, I agree with most of your other answerers. It's you. Be who you want to be and be ok with others making different choices or no choice at all about identifying as part of a group.

Canadian= a citizen of the country of Canada.  My dad's a Canadian immigrant, but I'm 100% full-red-blooded American.  If you are born in Canada- you're a citizen.  If you legally immigrate there and become a citizen, you're Canadian.
