Can i get British Citizenship?

I am 24, i have lived in Canada my entire life. Both my parents were born in Britian and still have citizenship. Am I able to aquire british citizenship through them? Does anyone know how?

Answer:
Yes...you can get british citizenship if either or both of your parents have actually lived in the UK at some point in their lives.
If your parents only had their UK citizenship because their parents were brits, then you would not be able to get automatic citizenship here.

Watch this space and i'll get you some links to check out ;-)


ok...here's some info i've found on a UK govt website...the link is below ;)


Pay particular attention to point (b)!!



7. Will a child who is born on or after 1 January 1983 outside the United Kingdom be a British citizen?

Yes, the child will be a British citizen if either:

(a) he or she is born on or after 21 May 2002 in a qualifying territory (see Note 6) and one of the parents (see Note 4) is a British citizen or settled in the United Kingdom or that territory (the child will be a British citizen otherwise than by descent); or

(b) one of his or her parents is a British citizen otherwise than by descent, for example by birth, adoption registration or naturalisation in the United Kingdom (the child will be a British citizen by descent)

Basically...you may already be completely entitled to citizenship..YAY for you:-)
I don't think so, unless you already have it.

My advice is, don't come over here, the weather sucks!
Yes, you can appply for citizenship on an ancestry basis. First you would come to work, you can apply for the passport after, I think, five years. Check:

It is called right of abode. You automatically qualify for a UK passport if a parent was born there and you were born in the British Commonwealth.
