Canadian Citizenship

Canadian citizenship: This may be the larger point that we re missing in all the debate over the Fair Elections Act and how it will affect some Canadians right to vote. How do you prove you re a Canadian citizen?, according to The Star. For people born in other countries, Canadian citizenship is a bigger deal. Theres even a ceremony an emotional one, for many people and a handbook and even a test. Theres also a certificate : a full-sized paper document, suitable for framing, which includes a certificate number, a unique client identifier, name, date of birth, gender and the date you became a Canadian citizen and We used to talk about Canada having an identity problem. Now, it seems, we have a proof-of-identity problem. If you were born in this country, citizenship is something you probably take for granted. Its a box you tick off on customs forms when visiting other countries, or a feeling you occasionally get when you watch doughnut or beer commercials. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
