Canadian Citizen: Newfoundland

Canadian Citizenship Dept: A: If your mother was a Canadian citizen when you were born in 1977, then you should be entitled to Canadian citizenship. Mind you, your letter does not make clear if your mother continued to reside in Newfoundland after it joined Canada in 1949 or if she moved to the United States before then. You should proceed with an application for a citizenship certificate and include all the details regarding your mother s residence in Newfoundland and claim to Canadian citizenship. The procedure is spelled out on the immigration department website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/proof.asp, according to The Star. Q: I am a mother of three children ages 17, 2 and 1 month, all born in Canada. I was born in the United States and moved to Canada when I was 8. I received my Canadian citizenship later and q: My mother was born in Newfoundland on April 7, 1947. I was born in the United States on July 10, 1977. I understand that British subjects born in Newfoundland pre-1949 are automatically considered Canadian citizens. Would this make me, as the first and only child, eligible for dual citizenship?
