I was born in Canada and I have a Canadian birth certificate as well as my social ins. card. However my parents moved me to the US at a young age, but never filled out my citizenship/residency forms for the US.
I am now wanting to get this straightened out so I can move on with my life. I have downloaded the forms to apply for a Canadian passport, but I have some questions regarding the form:
1. Is PPTC 040 (10-09) (Adult Passport Application for Canadians 16 years of age and older (abroad)) the correct form I need?
2. It says: If you were born in Quebec (which I was)- Only birth certificats issued on or after January 1, 1994...are accepted. I was born in 1978.
3. I have a guarantor that will sign for me who is a notary, but she is an American citizen born here. Do I have to find a Canadian citizen to guarantor for me?
I agree that it would be easier if I could do this from within Canada, but since I have no valid picture ID, will Canada let me in with only by birth certificate and social ins. card (that doesn't have a picture)?
I would appreciate any help to get this sorted out.
Thanks!
