Thank you for this!

During COVID, during Trump, I did yet another search to see if I had an easy path to Canadian citizenship based on my parents born there though becoming US Naturalized. I discovered that in 2009, and actually due to 9/11, the Canadian laws had changed and unbeknownst to me, I had suddenly became a Canadian citizen since birth.

All that was left was the paperwork (and time). I finally got my Canadian Citizenship in December 2023.

Make my first househunting trip next month.

Happy Canada Day!!
