Hello,
I am a Canadian citizen: My mother was born in the US but resides in Canada (and has most of her life). She recently (during the mid 90's) obtained dual-citizenship. I would like to do the same.
While she was born in the States she only 'lived' there for just under a year before her parents moved to Canada. -She has frequently spent summers with American relatives (but again never for more than one year continuously).
A quick internet search yielded information on citizenship aquisition under section 301(g) INA and 301(c) INA -but none seem to apply to me as my mother has not resided in the US for a period of 1 year continuously.
I would like to obtain dual citizenship (with no plans to be a US resident at this time) and I'm unsure how difficult this will be. I'm hoping that my mother's status (dual Cdn/US citizenship) will make the process fairly easy.
Any comments/advice would be appreciated.
(if there is any other info. I could provide that would be relevant I'll be glad to post it)
Thank you,
522.
