Bringing Canada's "Lost" (Bill C-37 Canadian Citizenship) Canadians Together
I am Canadian. My son was born in Canada. My husband was Scottish. We moved to Scotland when my son was 8 months old. He has a Canadian birth certificate, a Canadian mother, was born In Canada. Yet my friend disagrees with me when I say he,s Canadian by birth. Im not talking citizenship, just his nationality. Is he Canadian or not?

If he ever has children outside of Britain (e.g. in Canada), however, they would likely not be British citizens, unless their mother was also British (other than by descent).
