Sorry - I didn’t realize that I was supposed to read all the way back through the replies. But in so doing I see that he was responding to a post (#40) that stated that Ted’s father was Canadian at the time of his birth. Which as far as I can tell he wasn’t to due his less than five years in Canada at the time. He became a Canadian citizen after Ted’s birth, and was a Cuban citizen at Ted’s birth.
Just trying to clarify when Ted’s father became a citizen. Which would be critical in determining when Ted’s mother could have become a citizen based on the minimum time requirements residing in Canada and/or being married to a Canadian citizen.
That’s interesting, I thought Cruz Sr was a Canadian citizen at the time of Cruz Jr’s birth. So if he was a Cuban, not Canadian, was Cruz Jr a triple citizen? Did/does he have any Cuban citizen connection?
Which would be critical in determining when Ted’s mother could have become a citizen based on the minimum time requirements residing in Canada and/or being married to a Canadian citizen.

However Ted’s mother had already lived in Canada more than 1 year at the time of her marriage to Cruz Sr..thus fulfilling that requirement..
so she could be naturalized a Canadian citizen just days after the marriage...
some FReepers are counting 1 year later after the marriage...its not needed...
