B. Natural-Born Citizens

Persons considered to be natural-born Canadian citizens can be born either in Canada (with exceptions for foreign diplomatic personnel), or outside Canada if, at the time of birth, one parent is a Canadian citizen. Such a parent cannot be an adoptive one.(5)

There has recently been some discussion and controversy in this country about whether or not Canada should modify the aspect of its current citizenship law that grants automatic citizenship to anyone born on Canadian soil.(6)
