Citizenship through Father

[turksman]

Hi all. My father is from the Turks and Caicos Islands. It is a British overseas territory. He also has his British Citizenship via registration. His citizenship he only recently had done about 5 years ago. I was born in Canada and am a Canadian citizen. I would like to get my british citizenship and was wondering if I woul dbe eligible to get one through my father and if so what steps do i take?

My father is from the Turks and Caicos Islands. It is a British overseas territory. He also has his British Citizenship via registration.

Where and when was he born? Where and when were you born?
What was his status before his "registration"?
Is he a British Overseas territories Citizen or a British Citizen (one is not automatically the other)?
Did he acquire his citizenship before or after your birth?

My father was born 1953 in Turks and Caicos Islands. I was born in Canada in 1985. Before his registration he was a British overseas territories citizen. He is now a British Citizen as well. He has dual citizenship I would say because he still has his Turks and Caicos passport as well.

I found this on a wikipedia page
"The status of British Overseas Territories citizen (BOTC) relates to persons holding British nationality by virtue of a connection with a British Overseas Territory (BOT). Nearly all BOTCs are also British citizens as a result of the changes made to British nationality law in 2002."

He acquired his citizenship after my birth.
