As far as I understand, I am not a Canadian citizen. I thought Bill S-2 had passed, and I had a copy of that. I went to a local MP's office and filled out a passport form. I showed them the Bill S-2 form and asked if I was a Canadian citizen now and could I apply for a passport. They said yes. The woman I was speaking with said she was also a lost Canadian and was glad to know she was no longer in that category. She called the passport office and spoke to someone in Vancouver and made the arrangements, because I was in Prince George at the time. I went down to Vancouver and handed in my papers and received a Canadian passport, which is stamped “Canadian citizen”. But I don't believe I'm a Canadian citizen, because when I call—and I have tried many times to submit forms—I am told either, yes, you were born in this country, so you are a Canadian citizen, or, no, you are not a Canadian citizen and you don't qualify, as the law stands right now.
