Canadian Father: Jackie Scott

Jackie Scott: Jackie Scott, 68, was refused citizenship even though she came to Canada with her British mother and Canadian father at the age of 2. A judicial review of that refusal was scheduled for July, but Scott put it on hold so she and her lawyers could broaden the court action, according to The Star. Scott said even though she would have loved to settle her own citizenship dispute back in July, her fight has become about much more than herself and VANCOUVER Canadian citizenship laws may need to be overhauled if a so-called lost Canadian wins her legal battle. Documents filed Friday in Federal Court in Vancouver show Scott is petitioning for declarations from the court that could have serious ramifications for Canadian citizenship, including whether Parliament has total control over who is considered Canadian.
