  • You have to apply as you have to prove that you qualify for the Citizenship (you present your family tree with proofs of births and marriages and whatever is needed to reach that “canadian ancestor”), once it is done, you get a “Proof of Citizenship”, that is what will then allow you to apply for Passport, Driving License, jobs… It kinda becomes your “birth certificate”. Now, to note, I got this in 2014 due to my mother being born Canadian (and me not) and it took me over a year to get my paperwork (close to two) and there is not a “temporary citizen” status, so you have yo wait until you get it to come to Canada (barring visiting of course). With the influx of submissions that this change will create you can expect those times to increase (unless they open a specific channel for it 🤞).











  • No, it does not make sense, if the policy is “paperwork needed after 28 weeks” you should not have to provide paperwork before the 28 weeks. If what you say is a concern the policy should explicitly say “X paperwork after 28 weeks and Y proof of ‘pregnancy time’ if less than 28 weeks”.

    You cannot simply expect people to produce documentation on the spot when you have not mentioned upfront that is needed.






  • Ok, hear me out, yes, written Galician is understandable by any Spanish speaker, but spoken Galician can sound really alien to Spaniard. I never forget one day watching in the TV the street reporter interviewing someone and I thought they were foreign until I suddenly caught a word, they were a Galician speaking Spanish with heavy accent! No way I would be able to understand that person if they had actually spoken Galician 😅

    As per the article information, yes, of course, Madrileños are despised everywhere in Spain, if you live somewhere where they are not despised, is because they haven’t visited yet… (As with any generalization, there are som wonderful people from Madrid, not ALL of them deserve to be despised, but the majority…)
