Yes, exactly. They tried to make the application for me, but it was refused because they were told it was unnecessary (!) Was the refusal in writing? I'll have to ask my mum. I rather doubt she still has it because we brought very little with us when moving. I wonder if Home Office would have a ...

My parents had asked the officials to register me as a citizen as an infant, but were told that it wasn't necessary since I was already a British citizen by birth. What exactly is meant by "asked the officials"? Was an application sent to the Home Office for you to be registered as a British ...

A British citizen cannot be subject to leave to enter/remain. If an Immigration Officer had granted you leave to enter, then s/he didn't consider you as a Dual UK citizen. No, it was my parents who had ILR, not me. If you meant at the airport, Commonwealth citizens including Canadians don't need a ...

As you used foreign passports to enter the UK, what were the Immigration Officer's endorsement on them? What were the UK Immigration Officer's endorsements on your Canadian passport? My brother was born in Canada so whenever we travelled after his birth we all used Canadian passports - otherwise we ...

So, it seems that you always entered as a visitor? I'm not sure what you mean by enter? The UK is my home country. I was born there, not a visitor. When I travelled to Canada and subsequently re-entered the UK from Canada as a child, I used my birth certificate and attachment to my then-UK-settled ...

As a child, I travelled on my mother's (non-British) passport. She had ILR by then. We used to also carry my British birth certificate as further proof of identity.

When I obtained Canadian citizenship years later, I got my own Canadian passport and travelled using that.

4. On what basis were you frenquently returning to the UK? When my family initially moved to Canada, it was meant to be a temporary placement for my dad's work. So my mother and I went home to check on our house and be with family in the UK fairly often. It was only later that my parents decided to ...

I was born in the UK and until recently believed I was a British citizen by birth - however, when I tried to get my passport HMPO directed me to register as a citizen first. However, I am now over the age of 18, therefore outside of the age range for form MN1. Is there any other way I can register ...
