My grandfather eventually took out his Canadian Citizenship.<br><br>In the 1980's my Grandmother (long after my grandfather's death) applied for her passport to travel over to Norway with my aunt. It was at that time the Canadian Government informed her that she had no citizenship. Apparently she lost her Canadian Citizenship when she married a Norwegian. <br><br>Of course back in the 80's we were pre identity theft and pre 9/11 I don't think it took too much to get her citizenship back in order, but for almost 60 years she was a woman without a country and didn't even know it.<br><br>She had a great time visiting Norway.Peghttp://theykherd.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
