r/dualcitizenshipnerds

Hi everyone,

I’m a US/Canadian dual citizen, and I live full-time in the US. I own a car that’s registered and insured in Ontario. Can I drive it across the border and use it for a cross-country road trip in the US? I tried AI, but it seems like there is no official documentation on US residents using their Canadian car in the US; the documentation covers Canadian residents visiting the US (which is allowed).

Clarification: I have two homes/cars, one in Canada and one in the USA. I keep one car in the US and the other in Ontario (the one in question).

Thanks in advance!

Hola todos.

My case is quite complicated. DN Express have confirmed the claim would be possibly by my ancestor, My great great great grandmother who was baptised in Mexico.

I have her baptism record. I can document everyone else up to my great grandfather but I'm missing my great great grandfather's birth/ baptism record.

I have census' that show he was the son of my x3 great grandmother, it also mentions her on his death certificate being his mother. I also have her marriage record too.

For further clarification on which docs I have those are my Great grandfathers SS5 form from the US, & grandfather birth certificate (US) father & my own birth certificates (UK). All parent names match up linking each generation to the next.

Could i potentially try & pursue my claim with what I have rn? Or would i definitely 100% need a baptism/ birth record for my great great grandfather?

Hi,

I'm trying to get an official copy of my grandmother's Mexican birth certificate from 1908 for a Canadian citizenship application (her father was Canadian ) . Unfortunately it is too old to be in the normal system Mexico uses to digitize it's records. She was born in Mexico City and I can find the handwritten record on familysearch, but Canada wants an official certified document. I've had my father and sister working on this (they are both fluent in Spanish, me not so much), and I've gone to the local Mexican consulate, without success. As far as I can tell, the only way to get around this is to fly to Mexico city and wait in line at the Mexico city archives.

AI tells me to hire a gestos to get the records but the ones I can find are targeting American law firms and are quite expensive.

Anyone else have a similar problem or know a local Mexican company that can get these documents for me?

Suggestions would be quite welcome.

For context my maternal grandmother was Canadian she moved to the U.S. well before she had my aunt and mom she died when my mom was a baby so I didn’t know anything about her until recently when I was talking to my aunt (my mom passed away a few years ago) due to politics in the U.S. and issues with how expensive it is to receive medical care even with insurance for health issues I’ve been dealing with since childhood I want to leave the U.S. now more than ever obviously I know about needing documentation to prove that my grandmother was Canadian and that she’s my actual grandmother through my mom but I have a few questions about different aspects of moving to Canada like costs of applying how long it takes if you’ve gone through the process and moving there with pets I currently live in Minnesota so the cold weather isn’t a big issue for me and I’m aware that I’ll still have to file U.S. taxes even if I live outside the U.S. please leave any advice about Canada in general too!!

Hi, I'm travelling to UK/Edinburgh for vacation soon. Don't qualify for an ETA. Applied for new UK passport - status shows it was approved and has been sent - but won't arrive in time before I leave for Edinburgh. Travelling Chicago-Edinburgh on United Airlines next week.
Will I be able to board plane in Chicago ok?
Will I have issues when I go through immigration in Edinburgh?
Planning on taking copies of UK birth certificate, marriage certificate (proving my last name is accurate), photocopy of UK (old and expired) passport - which I no longer have as I had to mail it to HM Passport office with my application.
Any advice welcome! Thanks in advance.
