Okay. If I can find my birth certificate by Friday, I'm going to see about going into the US Embassy with mom and getting a new passport (long story).

If I can't, I'm going to reapply for it (involves a trip to the notary) on Friday.

If mom can cover the $$, on either Friday or Monday (depending on paperwork needed, and assuming the ID I have will work, which will involve a phone call to find out) I will apply for Canadian citizenship. My intention is not, yet, to renounce US citizenship, but this is a pretty important thing for me to do, I think.

Keeping my fingers crossed you'll find it. If not, I'm keeping them crossed for the bureaucratic mill to not be as mindnumbingly slow as it tends to be. :>

Regardless of what they tell you, there is no need to renounce your American ciitzenship. I have been a Canadian citizen since estrellada was a pup, but I've never renounced my US citizenship, therefore I vote in both countries. And to me, that's important.

And that Canadian Citizenship card makes excellent ID, even better than a birth cert, because it has your picture on it.

The citizenship card does? I know the landed immigrant card does.

I guess native-born Canadians don't get citizenship cards, just... passports?
