Geneologists: Can decendants of Canadians get dual citizenship like Irish Law?

[Wiley50]

Mt grandmother was born in Ontario.

I just heard someone on Malloy whose Grandparent was born in Ireland
and he was able to easily get duel citizenship

Anyone know if that's true with Canada?

[cynatnite]

1. I served with a guy in the Army who had duel citizenship...

Here in the US and Canada.

That's all I know about it.

[Canuckistanian]

2. I don't think it's a problem here

We don't require exclusive loyalty oaths.

[sutz12]

3. I didn't know duels were allowed in Canada or Ireland, let alone here..

:evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

5. That's an insult!

Pistols at dawn?

Or how about parsnips at 4:00pm?

9. One dark day in the middle of the night, two blind men got up to

fight...

6. Where is that crotchety old man, what was his name, the

politician who wanted to challenge some journalist to a duel?

[Canuckistanian]

11. Zell?

I think he's already had his brains blown out.

That's why he was invited to be the keynote speaker at the GOP convention.

[texpatriot2004]

12. Exactly. Yes, thank you, Zell Miller the bat-shit crazy duel wanting

raging maniac.

4. Anyone know if someone with a great-grandparent born in

Ireland can get dual citizenship?

10. Well that depends on who with an Irish granny doesn't make the english national team

13. Irish citizenship

You can get Irish citizenship if one of your Grandparents was
born in Ireland. They dropped the great Grandparents some time
ago. 

[KT2000]

17. That's good news!

thanks for sharing.

20. My nana and my dad can both get it. I missed out apparently.

[Wiley50]

14. Thanks Everyone

I got called away

I'm so embarrassed I did that stupid spelling error
That kind of stuff is a pet peeve when I see others do it

15. I am applying for Irish citizenship with an Irish grandmother

Canada does NOT accept citizenship applications through a grandparent. Sorry about that (since my grandfather was Canadian I actually looked into it). I was hoping to apply for Canadian citizenhip but that avenue is closed.

Actually very few countries still allow citizenship applications through a grandparent - the rules and regs are MUCH tougher and most require parental citizenship to even apply (and even then, many are turned down).

16. Why would one expect a genealogist know Canadian law?

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Not that I know of. I looked into it for hubby whose Mum was Canadian. Oddly

his brother was younger enough to qualify because of some law that passed.

[LeftishBrit]

21. Well, this probably isn't helpful to you at this stage...

but I have dual British/Canadian citizenship, despite being born and brought up in Britain, because my Canadian father went there and registered me when I was a baby.

[treestar]

22. If serious, find a Canadian lawyer

Word on the street for things like this can often be wrong.

23. Would you take the Canadian citizenship oath?

The Oath must be recited by all citizenship recipients in Canada over the age of fourteen years. It is as follows:

I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen.
