This may be a post that belongs over in the Canada forum. The facts..............
(1) My maternal grandfather is born in London in 1901 he moves to Vancouver BC Canada after serving with his father with the Canadian military during world war 1.
(2) my mother is born in Vancouver BC 1n the 1930's
(3) She and my grandfather became naturalized US citizens in 1943
Before the first Canadian citizenship act. Both of them are under the British nationality act in force at the time.
(4)I was born in 1958 long before the 1977 Canadian citizenship act.
(5)I applied before the 2004 deadline with citizenship Canada for a citizenship determination and I was turned down “your mother was not a citizen at the time of your birth" “however she may resume hers if she wishes “(section 5 I think)
Therefore, we are before the time of the lost Canadians (pre 1948 Canada citizenship act)
It appears the new 2008 lost canadians canada citizen act will not help pre 1948 canadians who lost citizenship
In addition, I think they (I?) lost our British subject statues as well.
but I am not sure I found your article,
http://www.workpermit.com/news/2007-12- ... adians.htm
this, "Anyone who was born in Canada or who became a Canadian on or after 01 January, 1947, and who then lost their citizenship, would have their status reinstated"
I love the operative word OR here my mom was born before 1947 and naturlized as a minor in america ummmm I am her first generation so law takes effect in a year yes?
I will reopen my 2003 case with citizenship canada soon I think
the act,

Notice section Q (3) If you applied before 2004 for canadian citizen by descent or failed to do so well and your parent is restored to citizenship by this act you are a canadian
Update.........1 May 2008
This URL from the Canadian parliament legal analyst suggests that someone born in Canada as a British subject before 1947 and who lost her citizenship before 1947 will not regain her citizenship.(my mother)
