please tell me which documents i need exactly
Hi everyone!
I'm really struggling to get these documents together. For context, im 21, i was born and raised in Canada, both of my parents were also born and raised in Canada. My grandparents however, on both sides, were born and raised in Italy. I have one grandparent (dads mom) who still have her PR and never naturalized. I was thinking of getting my citizenship through her.
PLEASE someone help me finalize which documents are needed. I keep getting different answers.
I know i need:
- Nonna's birth certificate
- Marriage certificate
- Italian expired passport helps
- PR card for proof of no naturalization
- My birth certificate
- Divorce certificate (her and my nonno got divorced)
Do i need
- Both of my parents birth certificates?
- Both of my grandparents (my nonno and my nonno)'s birth certificates?
- My nonno's death certificate since he passed?
- Grandfathers ID? (when he passed away, they lost his wallet with all of his ID...really hoping I don't need more than just his birth certificate...im hoping i dont need his at all actually)
I'm just not exactly sure what is needed.
I know this will take years...but i REALLLLLLY want this citizenship. I need to get these documents in order and i just dont know exactly what im looking for.
im stressed. please help. someone who has done this before. please. thank you
