I was born in Canada in 1971, my mother was born in the USA and is a US citizen. My father is/was a Canadian citizen. My mother left the US when she was 3 years old. My family returned to the USA when I was 10 and I lived there with my green card for 27 years. Bizarre circumstances resulted in me moving back to Canada without getting my US citizenship before I left. I've been back in Canada for 7 years now.
According to that, I don't qualify, I know. The question I have is that my parents separated when I was 14 and divorced when I was 17. My mother had custody during that time. I know that if, for example, she had naturalized during that time, I would qualify, but does this extend to those born as citizens?
