Yes, but until the late 1940s, these nations had defacto shared citizenship and could move freely, then citizenship laws began to be introduced that created seperate citizenships instead of shared ‘British Subject’ status. CANZUK would make freedom of movement within the Dominion States (those which share the Crown) a thing again.

It isn't going to happen. Australia and to a lesser extent New Zealand see themselves as more part of Asia than anything and the UK provides an increasingly smaller share of their trade
- For Australia the UK trade of 2% is dwarved by China's 29% and even india at 4.4% is larger: each import countrys percentage of total Australian exports.
- China: US$68 billion (29.6% of total Australian exports)
- Japan: $23.6 billion (10.3%)
- South Korea: $12.5 billion (5.5%)
- India: $10.2 billion (4.4%)
- Hong Kong: $9.1 billion (4%)
- United States: $8.6 billion (3.8%)
- New Zealand: $6.9 billion (3%)
- Taiwan: $6.2 billion (2.7%)
- Indonesia: $4.9 billion (2.1%)
- United Kingdom: $4.6 billion (2%)
- Singapore: $3.6 billion (1.6%)
- Vietnam: $3.5 billion (1.5%)
- Malaysia: $3.5 billion (1.5%)
- Thailand: $3.1 billion (1.3%)
- Netherlands: $1.8 billion (0.8%)
- As for New Zealand it ranks higher but still swarved by China

That shared citizenship thingy...that effected me...
I was born British in Dec 1948 but in Jan 1949 I was registered as a NZ citizen so my BC is NZ but I could have gotten a Brit passport because of WHEN I was born...
Like Obamas British/Kenyan father...
