Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"Yes, Louise, I am afraid, you are the same as me - Mother born in Canada (Newfoundland) who qualifies from 1949 for Canadian citizenship (because she was born there), but we do not, even though we are first generation, born to a Canadian…"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"I think it would have made the issue a lot simpler with everyone controlled by the one date. Does this issue impact on you?"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"Hi Todd,
Yes, I noted this disclaimer when I did the self assessment test, and was not at all sure what it meant. I still don't! After all it says 'if one of your parents was born in Newfoundland or resided in…"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"I don't think I said or inferred that it was because Newfoundlers were not accounted for by the Canadian Citizenship Act, - just that my Mother was born there and she was given Citizenship because of that fact. I don't think I…"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"In answer to Frank's comment. Although the Statue Law Amendment (Newfoundland Act, 1949) states:-
(iii) had Newfoundland domicile on the said first day of April. Sub-section 40(5) described Newfoundland domicile as residence…"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion Newfoundlanders & Injustice"In answer to Todd's comment. My mother was born in Newfoundland from a family who have lived there for over 300 years and she has been given Canadian Citizenship from 1949 (even though she died many years ago). I however, have been…"
Isabel Harris replied to Todd's discussion This came out at 3:15pm Friday, Ottawa time"The first generation rule did not apply to everyone. Only for those of Canadian fathers and those born after 1947. I agree tht Canada cannot extend citizenship to endless generations born abroad, but to deny it to those who are first…"
Isabel Harris replied to Lost Canadians Online's discussion Cash for healthcare in Quebec."Think he was from Newfoundland. Thought a PM (provincial or not) would go to the top of the list because of his position. Obviously not."
Isabel Harris replied to Frank Compton's discussion The Sandy Burke Situation"This is just wonderful. Perhaps Jackie won't be far behind and maybe other Lost Canadians too!"
Isabel Harris commented on Peter John Luttmer's blog post "If the cat had kittens in the oven they're not bloody buns""My Mother, also Canadian, got stuck in the UK in 1940 when the vessel she was to return home to Canada on was sunk by a german u-boat in the Atlantic. She spent the war years helping at a local home which had been commandeered for wounded servicemen…"

Nikkei Jay said… - Well as you say, Marlene was positive! The ministerial reply was standard asking me to apply so they can take my money but give me nothing. The reply from the GG was that she coudlnt help and Diane Finley's office forwarded my letter too.
I did get a response from ujall dosnjah (however you spell his name) saying that they are taking everything in to account (as he was open to re-forming the 476 or is it 467 bill).
Ive not yet had a response from John Reynolds but I did reply to the office of the Prime Minister when they mailed me and I asked what their policy was on discrimination based on gender. Yet to receive a response!
