Canadian Father: Jackie Scott

Jackie Scott: Jackie Scott, 68, went to court after she was refused citizenship despite having come to Canada with her British mother and her Canadian father at the age of two and spending most of her life here. A judicial review of that denial was to have started Monday, but as the proceedings got underway, Scott chose to put the review on hold so she and her lawyers could expand the court action, according to Times Colonist. But "it's not just about me," Scott told reporters afterward, saying she could not in good conscience become a Canadian without doing everything she can to help other "lost" individuals and VANCOUVER - Thousands of so-called "Lost Canadians" may have their day in court if a woman who's waited years to establish her own Canadian citizenship decides to pursue a class-action lawsuit. Scott had initially asked the court to determine whether she was a citizen or not. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
