My Mom Was British...I'm Canadian...Can I Get A UK Passport?
Answer:
The UK frowns on giving passports to persons who are non-citizens. They're funny that way.
Sounds like you're a mutt.
maybe
You should be able to under what are known as Patriality requirements (i.e. being the child of a citizen).
You can find out more at the UK government website on visas and passports:

Then apply through the Embassy in Ottawa, or travel to the UK on your current passport and enquire once you are inside the country.
Yes, Because I am a citizen of Spain and my daughter was born here in the US and I wanted to make her a citizen of Spain and I was told in the consulate that she was already a citizen of Spain because was born from a citizen of Spain, she got her passport,
you'll get it too cause your Mom is British its a birth right.
Your best bet is to contact a British consulate and ask them.
British Nationality Law is complicated. For instance, when you were born, 1982, British women were not able to pass their citizenship to their children born abroad. Only British men had that right, and it only applied to children born in marriage. British women that are British other than by descent can now pass their citizenship to foreign born children, but only to children born in 1983 or afterwards.
There is a provision for persons born between 1961 and 1983 to apply for registration as a British citizen, but it depends on how your mother acquired her British citizenship, as to whether she can pass it to you. That would be applied for on form UK(M), which you could ask a British consulate about.
If you have a grandparent who was British you should be able to qualify for a UK Ancestry visa, which is issued to citizens of British Commonwealth countries - which Canada is - if the person has a grandparent who was British. This visa would entitle you to live and work in the UK for up to five years. After five years you could apply for permanent residence there, and ultimately gain British citizenship.
