My father was born in Canada but became a US citizen before I was born Am I still eligible for dual citizenship?
Yes, you may be eligible for Dual Citizenship. Since your father was born in Canada, you could potentially acquire Canadian citizenship by descent, provided you meet the necessary requirements set by Canadian law. Additionally, as a US citizen, you can hold dual citizenship without any issues from the US side. It's advisable to consult with the relevant authorities or legal experts to understand the specific criteria and application process.

You were born in Canada took Australian citizenship in 1976 at the age of 25 does Canada still recognize you as a Canadian Citizen and why won't they let you have a passport?
This question hinges upon whether you have dual citizenship or not.When you became an Australian citizen, did you keep your Canadian citizenship? If you did not, then you are not entitled to a Canadian passport, you are now considered a foreign national. This answer raises more questions - how do you "lose" Canadian citizenship? If you were born there, you will always legally be a Canadian. A passport has little to do with citizenship in this regard. I was told if I were to go and live there for 1 year, then I would be eligible to hold a Canadian passport again - probably something to do with taxes more than an allegiance to one country or another.
If a man from Estonia became a US citizen during the cold war could his children left in Estonia be American citizens?
In my experience, it would depend on how much US residency the man has and what date he became a US citizen. Children of US citizens are eligible to derive citizenship from their US citizen parents (jus sanguinis), but the citizen parent must meet age and residency requirements.

What citizenship is Barack Obama?
He is a citizen of only the United States. At birth he was a citizen of the United States (thus a natural born citizen.) He was also entitled to British citizenship through his father which then became Kenyan citizenship when Kenya became independent, but as Kenya (unlike the U.S.) doesn't allow dual citizenship and because he didn't renounce his natural born U.S. citizenship, he lost his Kenyan citizenship at the age of 23. So he was technically a dual citizen until age 23 he has been purely an American citizen since.

Are utility bills sufficient proof of residency when applying to the Canadian government for dual US-Canadian citizenship?
In Canada, the term "dual citizenship" is purely descriptive. It describes the fact that a person holds Canadian citizenship and the citizenship of another country at the same time. But there is no particular legal status called "Dual Citizenship". Therefore, you cannot apply for "Dual Citizenship". If you are a citizen of the United States (or any other country) and you apply for Canadian citizenship, Canada will not ask you to renounce your previous citizenship. In Canada's eyes, you can hold both citizenships simultaneously (though this could change due to recent abuses). In that sense, you will have dual citizenship. But be warned: other countries do not always see it that way. When a citizen of Canada (or any other country) takes American citizenship, he must renounce his previous citizenship. Canada may still consider that person a Canadian citizen, but the United States will not recognize them as a dual citizen. So, as I said, you cannot apply to the Canadian government for "Dual Citizenship" status. If you are citizen of another country, who has lived in Canada for the required period, and you want to apply for Canadian citizenship, you will need the following proof of residence: 1. A Record of Landing (IMM 1000)-a document that is sometimes folded and stapled into your passport, This shows that you arrived in Canada legally. 2. A permanent resident card. You get this from the government when you apply for permanent residency. You must be a permanent resident for at least three years before applying for citizenship. 3. Two pieces of identification (for example, a passport, a driver's licence, or a provincial/territorial health card), at least one of which contains your photo. NO, UTILITY BILLS WILL NOT DO. You must have official I.D. 4. Two signed citizenship photos, which must also be signed by a guarantor - a professional who can attest that you are a resident of Canada. For more information, visit the website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp. Correction to above: The above is mostly correct except the US also does not require formal renunciation of other citizenships. When I became a US citizen, I did not have to renounce my Canadian citizenship, and the Canadian government still recognizes me as a Canadian citizen. However, the US does not legally recognizethat I have another citizenship. If Canada recognizes me as a citizen of Canada under the laws of Canada, that is between me and the government of Canada. It is not illegal or prohibited, it simply has no legal effect at all. The US will not try to prevent or prohibit another country from recognizing someone as a citizen under the laws of that other country, but whether they do or they don't is completely irrelevant under US law. Under US law, I am a US citizen, just like any other US citizen - period*. For example, if I was jailed in the US, I would not necessarily be allowed to have a representative of Canada visit me in jail any more than any other given US citizen would be allowed to have a Canadian government representative visit them.
