Me, too! I finally got my Canadian passport -- it took a few years! If you want any advice, I may have some...

The first time I sent in my first application, with all the documentation, to be declared eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship (my mother was Canadian), it was rejected because of a really tiny technicality, after many months waiting. So I corrected it, re-sent it, and months later I received my application to receive a Canadian passport. Sent that in, with documentation, and after months, finally received my passport! In 2024.

My husband was born in Toronto. Got my children their Canadian passports during the last Drumpf administration. But I keep reliving in my head the scene from the Handmaid's Tale when Emily cannot get over the border with her Canadian spouse.

It's almost like you inherited the bureaucracy of both countries in the worst possible way!

Oh, I didn’t even think to get a lawyer for doing this. How did you find yours?

My cousin’s daughter is a lawyer and she recommended them. I think you could do it yourself, but I have this very complicated situation with my father’s ever shifting surname.
