Canada Passes Citizenship Act Proclaiming Canadian Status
The 1947 Citizenship Act proclaims Canadian citizenship for native born Canadians and British subjects domiciled in Canada. It establishes Canadian citizenship, allows passports to read Canadian citizen, and grants citizenship through military service and marriage conditions. Women gain right to choose nationality, and non Canadians who served in Canadian forces abroad qualify after one year of service.
