Question

I was born in canada in 1967. I know there were certain laws in effect but do they still pertain to me and my sister? She was born in the US but not me!! Is there someone who knows about these laws way back when?? Even though I was Adopted down here in the states?? Can any one help me??

Answer 1

The United States government does allow dual citizenship.   They don’t approve of dual citizenship—they simply tolerate it.

Unlike the law in effect in Canada up to 1977, the current Citizenship Act allows Canadian citizens to acquire a foreign nationality without automatically losing their Canadian citizenship. Since February 15, 1977, a Canadian citizen who acquires another nationality may retain Canadian citizenship, unless he or she voluntarily applies to renounce it and the application is approved by a citizenship judge

So yes, you are a dual citizen of the US and Canada

Answer 2

well but you have to make an application.

I am sending you part of the law that you are talking about. the card will be send to your house, I do not think you need to come..

The last two provisions do not apply to people who lost their citizenship as minors (under 21 years of age) between January 1, 1947, and February 14, 1977. These people can apply to resume their citizenship without having to become permanent residents and live in Canada for one year.

Once your application is received at the Case Processing Centre, it will be reviewed and processing will begin. In some cases, you may be contacted for more information or you may be asked to appear for an interview. If you meet the requirements to resume citizenship, you will be contacted to make arrangements for taking the oath of citizenship and receiving your citizenship certificate.

My aunt married an American and has maintained her Canadian status.  Things start to get more tricky if you choose to become an American citizen.
