Octavo (9.5 inches). 10 George VI, Chapter 15 (Statutes of Canada). Caption title, 16 pages. Neatly extracted from a bound volume and expertly mended. This Act created Canadian citizenship as a status that was separate and distinct from British nationality, and came into effect on 1 January 1947. Canadian citizenship was generally conferred immediately upon the passing of the Act on those who were: British subjects born in Canada (who had not become an alien prior to 1947); persons other than natural-born Canadian citizens who had been granted prior naturalization; British subjects who had acquired Canadian domicile before 1947; British subjects who had lived in Canada for 20 years prior to 1947 and not under order of deportation; female persons married to a Canadian before 1947 and who entered Canada as a landed immigrant prior to 1947; and children born outside Canada to a Canadian father (or mother, if born out of wedlock) before 1947. Citizenship was otherwise acquired: by birth in Canada (with some exceptions); by citizens after five years residence in Canada as a landed immigrant; by foreign women married to Canadian men after one year of residence as a landed immigrant; by women who lost British subject status prior to 1947 upon marriage to a foreign man; and by children born outside Canada to a Canadian responsible parent. Canadian citizenship was lost if the person was naturalized outside of Canada; the person served in any foreign armed forces; or the person lived outside Canada for ten years or more and did not file a declaration of retention. A notable exception to the Act occurred when Newfoundland was admitted into Canada and all native or naturalized Newfoundlanders were automatically granted Canadian citizenship.
