Canadian citizenship through adoption

Dear Sirs,

I was born in San José, Costa Rica, and was adopted by a Canadian citizen in 1972 at the age of 10. I am now 56 years old, and would like to know if I can still obtain Canadian citizenship through my deceased adoptive father. My deceased adoptive mother was a United States citizen, and I am currently a Permanent Resident in the USA. I have not become a US citizen yet, even though I have lived in the US since 1981. I would prefer to become Canadian, if that is possible.

Please let me know if I would qualify for citizenship, even though I have never lived in Canada.

Best Regards,

MoyWarr

Hi,

I moved to Toronto permanently on 30th May and now I have the documents ready to apply so when I apply do you they calculate 90 days from my arrival date in the country which means I am eligible by 30th August? How do they calculate the starting date of the waiting period of 90 days? It is not mentioned anywhere or clear? My first landing was in 2016 but I moved here permanently only this year in May and trying to apply for OHIP now.
Appreciate some advise.

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We can appreciate that you would be concerned about this.

As stated above, the information we have received from Citizenship and Immigration is that no, it is not illegal to send it via a secure method or with someone else. However, they stated that there exists the possibility that it be seized if found.

Unfortunately, this is all the information we have regarding this.

You may want to contact the IRCC Call Centre to speak to a representative for some additional information.

You may also want to contact a lawyer who is familiar with Canadian Immigration issues for some additional information.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
