“If Cruz had stayed in Canada since he was born there, would he be considered being a Canadian citizen today. If the answer is yes, then he is not qualified to be President of the USA.”

Your arbitrary test is unsupported by the law.
For example, John McCain was born in Panama. Under Panama’s Constitution, he is still considered a Panamanian citizen by the Republic of Panama whether or not he has lived there since birth. The Panamanian government’s views on this issue are irrelevant as to his eligibility to run for POTUS in 2008 (that he was a terrible RINO choice is a political matter but not a legal disqualification).
Neither of McCain’s parents was Panamanian. Cruz’s father was Canadian at the time of his birth. Under Canada law, he was considered a natural born Canadian.
In 1936, Panama was a US Protectorate. They've had several constitutions since then.

And that’s exactly why John McCain is a “naturalized” American citizen, and he too was not eligible of the Office of POTUS.
Barry Goldwater wasn’t eligible and neither are Obama, McCain, Jindal, Rubio, and Cruz.
But it doesn’t matter anymore. No on cares — especially the attorneys and the courts.
What does that tell you about the state of the Constitution and the law?
