I have long had this unanswered question: Cruz’s father had applied for Canadian citizenship. Did his mother also apply? And, if she did, was she then a Canadian citizen by the time Rafael “Ted” was born?

Yes, what I’ve seen just presents the arguments. Some say whe was on a Canadian voter list. Not sure what I think of it, except this. They were in Canada, England, Cuba, pledging allegiance to all of them before they finally landed in the US. BTW, Ted is NO Texan! I was born in Texas. He’s NOT a Texan. He’s a Cubnadian! lol

Allegedly neither of the parents had been Canadian Permanent Residents the required time, perhaps 3 years, required to acquire naturalized Canadian citizenship by the time Ted Cruz was born in December 1970. Depending on whose timeline you use, it may or may not have been possible. It is denied that the mother ever acquired Canadian citizenship, but that too is open to question and a need for supporting documentation.
