Good luck with that. I am born American but live in Canada and am entitled to but only have citizenship in theory (my Mom was Canuck when I was born in the US) and do not have a passport. I applied and they wrote back saying that they needed my son's birth certificate. After I replied that I was applying for myself and not a son, they said I could not proceed until I got out of prison. Uh, have never even been in the drunk tank for a night guys. So they sent me to see a Citizenship Judge, who was only there because he was a former furniture salesman that ran and lost as a Conservative MP in Bowmanville. He had to leave the office twice to ask others what the rules were. Completely incompetent. His eventual recommendation was that I simply abandon the application and start again. Ugh.
