Re: Citizenship Question
Well JAJ I thank you for that.
I fell under the Jan/47 to Feb/77 born between these dates. "And sorry for having it wrong that is what good about forums like this to put me right".............
Until you hear or see it differently you automatically think it is right.
Mother was/is born in Lethbridge AB.Canada (Deceased)
Father English not married to Mom when I was born.
I was born in England. (So British by place of birth and Canadian because of my Mother)

Registration was still required, and was available until 2004. Anyone who didn't register became Canadian anyway, under the 2009 Citizenship Act, provided mother was born or naturalised in Canada.

Re: Citizenship Question
Your situation is a little unusual. Between 1947 and 1977, children born overseas to Canadian mothers were usually not eligible for Canadian citizenship, unless the mother was unmarried.

I PM'D you with info that I fell under, yes my Mother wasn't married to my Father at the time of my birth that is right, that is why I said I took the citizenship of my Mother, because my parents weren't married at the time of my birth.
