you have to take certain steps to keep your Canadian
citizenship.
According to Canadian Federal and provincial previous
law was people born in the 2nd or following generations
outside Canada have to submit an application
to retain their citizenship, and to either live
in Canada for one year or prove a significant
connection or relationship proof to Canada before
their 28th birthday. If they did not do either
of these things, they would have lost their Canadian
Citizenship, at times without even knowing.
This old law was criticized for being complex,
confusing, and leads to uncertainty for most
of the people about their citizenship status.

second generation turned 28 before April 17,
2009, and did not take proceed to retain his

Canadian citizens can apply to resume their Canadian
citizenship before their 28th Birthday.
