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
