You may have become a citizen but you don't just turn into a Canadian.
You are a Brit with dual Canadian citizenship. If you moved to India would you say you were now indian because you had been granted a citizenship paper ?

Born and bred ? Through descent ? Through marriage ? or lastly through naturalisation ?
I think birth and descent carry the most weight, followed by marriage.

Thanks for trying to put a damper on my big day - typical Brit.
As I said, I became a Canadian! I moved to this country and have immersed myself in the culture, the people and environment.

Did you get to meet a Mountie? I was a bit narked there wasn't one at my ceremony (held in a community centre opposite a paper plant - not quite like in the brochures!).

You are entitled to your opinion though, even when its wrong.
