USA, Canada / Born in Canada, Polish parents. Am I still a citizen of Poland? [14]
Hi there,
I was born in Canada and have Polish-born parents.
When I was about 10 years old, they arranged for a Polish passport for me. Thus, I had dual citizenship.
I read on the consulate's website that when you are between 16 and 17.5 years old, you have to reapply for something citizenship related. I didn't do this, but I don't know that it was necessary for me to do so, given that I already had a Polish passport.
I'm now 28 years old and that old passport is long expired. I just wanted to confirm that I will have no problems ordering a new one, and that I am still a citizen.
I read that the government can't revoke someone's citizenship. I will be calling the consulate on Monday, but would like to confirm here that this is true, and that I am still a Polish and Canadian citizen.
