Not Canadian?
My mom became a naturalized US citizen 28 days before I was born. I may not be a newly minted Canadian citizen. I sent an email to the Canadian Visa office in Los Angeles. Their website says they'll respond within 28 days, or maybe they won't respond. I guess that covers all the options. Oh well. I wasn't planning on renouncing my US citizenship.

Waking up Canadian

Apparently I am now a Canadian citizen, Yesterday a Canadian law went into effect restoring citizenship to all Canadians who had to renounce their citizenship to claim citizenship in another country (like the US), and to their children. My mom was a Canadian citizen, born in Kitchner, Ontario and became a naturalized US citizen after marrying my dad. I have no idea what advantages this may offer me - free maple syrup? That would be worth it.
