| Dec 6, 2018 at 20:06 | comment | added | phoog | @user102008 under section 12 of the 1948 act, a British subject became a CUKC through birth or naturalization in the UK and colonies or by birth to a father who was born or naturalized in the UK and colonies (ignoring annexation). Mothers didn't count. CUKC under 12(4) (i.e., for those who didn't qualify under subsections 1 to 3) was unavailable to citizens of Canada unless they registered under subsection (6) before 1950. | |

Just so long as it's not turtles all the way down. | |
