Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

Weird take. How is being forced to buy a UK passport to visit the UK "taking identity from the UK," isn't it the opposite? Dual citizens are being coerced into buying a piece of paperwork that says...

Re: UK Frozen Pensions

Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

Re: ETA in effect for Canadians 25 February 2026

May work, though my Canadian passport shows me as being born in the UK, so could be flagged that way? I have no idea.

Re: Renewing UK passport

I'm very annoyed about this too. I want to know just how strict they are about kids who are dual-citizen by descent born in Canada. It's a lot of money to maintain a whole extra set of passports. I...

Re: Traveling to UK Use American or British Passport ?

I don't see how maintaining a passport is connected to how much you value your citizenship status. I am happy to be a British Citizen, but the reality is, since becoming Canadian, it's a document I...
