  • Date:19 Janvier 2004
    Date: 20060901 Docket: T-1024-05 Citation: 2006 FC 1053 BETWEEN: JOSEPH TAYLOR Applicant and THE MINISTER OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION Respondent MARTINEAU J. REASONS FOR ORDER [1] On April 5, 2005, M.A. Hefferon, Citizenship Officer, dismissed the application for proof of citizenship made by the Applicant in November 2003, thus giving rise to the present judicial application. Page: 2 [2] The Applicant is the natural son of a Canadian soldier who served overseas during World War II. He was born in England in 1944. His parents married in 1945. He landed in Canada with his mother in 1946. The Applicant’s parents’ marriage broke up after a few months. The Applicant returned with his mother to England six weeks before the Canadian Citizenship Act, S.C. 1946, c. 15 (the 1947 Citizenship Act) came into force. [3] Both natural parents of the Applicant undoubtedly became Canadian citizens on January 1, 1947: (1) the Applicant’s father because he was born in Canada and had not become an alien; (2) the Applicant’s mother because she was a British subject who had married abroad a Canadian national, and who had been lawfully admitted to Canada for permanent residence before the coming into force of the 1947 Citizenship Act. [4] But the Applicant, according to the Respondent, has no automatic right to citizenship because his parents were not married at the time of his birth. To paraphrase the Respondent’s position with respect to dependents of Canadian soldiers who were repatriated from Europe after 1945, although these brides and children may have been welcomed and even financially assisted by the Canadian authorities to come in Canada, with the special status of “Canadian citizens” under the Immigration Act, 1910, S.C.

  • Passports in Canada
    Passports in Canada By Leslie H. Morley CLASSICAL PIANIST AND COMPOSER Vladimir Horowitz once proclaimed that “My face is my passport”; and with his distinctive looks and world renown there may indeed have been a time when for him doors opened as soon as he appeared. Unfortunately, nowadays one’s face alone will not get one across many frontiers. For that one needs a passport. In Canadian law a passport is defined as “an official Canadian document that shows the identity and nationality of a person for the purpose of facilitating travel by that person outside Canada”1. However passports also fulfill other functions: they are often understood to be valuable certificates of identity and nationality for purposes other than travel2. By international agreement they contain a photograph, signature and other identifying information. In recent years they have been adapted to be machine readable and to include embedded biometrics. According to the Government of Canada, “A passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel identification document”. It “proves that you have a right to return to Canada”. Therefore it is no surprise that, in reviewing Canada’s passport program, the Auditor General observed that “confidence in the passport (that the bearer is who he says he is) is critical to trade, the economy, and travel across borders”3. Of course, as immigration lawyers we know all this, as we deal with passports – both Canadian and foreign – on a daily basis. Still, how much do we really know about them? THE HISTORY OF PASSPORTS The term “passport” is derived from the medieval French, and relates to passage through the gate or “porte” of the city.
