You may already be a citizen if…
you were born in Canada,
you were naturalized (you immigrated to Canada and later got citizenship) in Canada or
you were born outside Canada after April 17, 2009, but one parent was born in Canada or naturalized in Canada.
You may not be a citizen if…
you marry a Canadian citizen,
you are adopted by a Canadian citizen,
your refugee claim is accepted,
you have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for many years,
you renounced your citizenship and never applied to get it back (see information on resuming citizenship),
you were born outside Canada on or after April 17, 2009, and one or both of your parents was a Canadian citizen, but neither of them was born or naturalized in Canada, or
the Government of Canada took away (revoked) your citizenship.
