Canadian Citizenship (Any hope here at all?)
Before you read the rest, I want to say thank you for taking a moment to help me. I know the answer is “No you don’t have a case”, but I’m someone who needs to be told that to my face before I give up on something I care about. I also can’t afford those wild consolation fees lmao. So again, thank you for this moment.
I’ve listed my basic ancestry below. If there is any loophole or opportunity I’m missing, it would mean the world if you could point it out. I suspect I missed the cutoff for eligibility by a month.
