Another pre-1947 birth problem?

I would be grateful for an opinion on whether there was any possibility of Canadian citizenship in these circumstances:A) The individual was born in India (then part of the British Empire) in 1942. His parents were married. He left India shortly after birth and arrived in the UK aged a couple of months and lived most of his life in the UK (over half a century). He has never set foot in Canada.

My French grandmother's family in Canada goes back to the 1630s. My grandfather was First Nations, born outside of Winnipeg. My mother was born in Canada in 1911. Later she moved to the US and in 1930 married a US citizen. After I was born, she became a US citizen. In 2011, my application for my Canadian citizenship certificate was denied. I was told that my mother had lost her status as a British subject when she married my father. She not only was "never a Canadian citizen," but also was…
