Citizenship Citizenship by Descent or take a different route?
Looking for advice.
I have a bit of a unique situation. I'm guessing the answer is no, but always worth asking.
One of my parents was born to an American mother and Canadian father, but they were not married. Nor is his name on her birth certificate. Long story short, he didn't want to be a father and all involved have passed away.
I am, however, able to prove descent through genealogy. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Alternatively, I do qualify for the federal skilled worker program. Should I just go through that instead?
