Director General, Citizenship Policy, Department of Citizenship and Immigration

This is dealing with those who passed away sometime between 1867 and 1947. The first Citizenship Act came into force on January 1, 1947. It's dealing with persons who passed away before that time. Had they been alive subsequently, they would have become citizens but for their death.

Thank you.
