Canadian Citizenship: Either of these in its pure form is rare, however. Britain, for instance, exempts from the jus soli children born in Britain to enemy aliens in wartime. But it also accords British nationality (with some exceptions) to anyone bom abroad whose father was a British citizen at the time of the birth. Canada has similar rules. Virtually anyone born in Canada, except the child of a foreign diplomat, is a canadian citizenship from birth. A child born outside Canada has canadian citizenship citizenship from birth jure sanguinis if either parent was a canadian citizenship citizen at the time of the birth and if the birth was registered with the appropriate canadian citizenship authorities within two years. Such citizenship is lost at the age of 24 unless the person is then domiciled in Canada or has, after reaching the age of 21, formally registered his intention to remain canadian citizenship.In Britain and most other monarchies, the term "citizen" is used less often than subject. The latter word emphasizes the subordinate position of the individual relative to the monarch; however, as monarchs retain few personal political powers under constitutional monarchy, there is little practical distinction between citizen and subject. The category of British subject includes the citizens of the independent states of the Commonwealth, but a British subject is not entitled to citizenship in any particular Commonwealth country unless he qualifies under its citizenship laws. A canadian citizenship citizen, for instance, automatically is a British subject, but a British subject from Britain, Australia, India, or from another of the Commonwealth nations may become a canadian citizenship citizen only by meeting Canadian naturalization requirements.
Citizenship in a Federation. In a federation such as the United States, dual citizenship in the nation and a constituent state is inevitable; but this seldom leads to serious problems, as control of citizenship is the responsibility of the national government. The Soviet Union, at least nominally, is an exception to this rule: both the USSR and the constituent "union republics" may confer citizenship. |
