Citizenship:

From the Citizenship Act (see Links) the following information is

obtained:
PART I - THE RIGHT TO CITIZENSHIP

3. (1) Subject to this Act, a person is a citizen if

(a) the person was born in Canada after February 14, 1977;
(b) the person was born outside Canada after February 14, 1977 and at the
time of his birth one of his parents, other than a parent who adopted him,
was a citizen;
(c) the person has been granted or acquired citizenship pursuant to section
5 or 11 and, in the case of a person who is fourteen years of age or over on
the day that he is granted citizenship, he has taken the oath of citizenship;
(d) the person was a citizen immediately before February 15, 1977; or
(e) the person was entitled, immediately before February 15, 1977, to
become a
citizen under paragraph 5(1)(b) of the former Act.
Now, since neither the Citizenship Act nor the Immigration Act (same
subject matter) define the word person, the definition of the
word person must be taken from the Interpretation Act (see Definitions).
We know from the Interpretation Act, the word person is defined as the
artificial-person. Therefore, it would appear that only the artificial-person
can be a Canadian citizen. The artificial-person is given "birth" when it is
created when the birth of the human-being is registered. When anything is
registered, you usually lose legal title to it, even though you may retain
beneficial title.

Also, the Canadian Citizenship Card shows the name in all CAPITAL
LETTERS giving further indication that the artificial-person JOHN DOE
is the Canadian Citizen. As no SIN number is required for a Citizenship
application, the artificial-person that is the Citizen, is not the Taxpayer
(who has the SIN number). This means that a Canadian Citizenship card
can be used as picture ID that is not connected to the Taxpayer.

However, in a zealous attempt to capture natural-persons into the Bank

Act, or for some other unknown reason, the Bank Act clearly indicates that
a natural-person may be a Canadian citizen, as defined in "resident
Canadian":

See "resident Canadian" « résident canadien » from the Bank Act:

"resident Canadian" means a natural person who is
(a) a Canadian citizen ordinarily resident in Canada,
(b) a Canadian citizen not ordinarily resident in Canada who is a member
of a prescribed class of persons, or
(c) a permanent resident within the meaning of the Immigration Act and
ordinarily resident in Canada, except a permanent resident who has been
ordinarily resident in Canada for more than one year after the time at
which the individual first became eligible to apply for Canadian

citizenship;
Now we have a problem. Can a natural-person be a Canadian citizen
and/or a resident? We don't believe so, making this part of the Bank Act
most confusing and perhaps ineffective and irrelevant.

We also have a big problem with resident in Canada as this phrase

appears in many statutes. Nowhere in the laws in resident defined,
although there are some interpretation bulletins on the subject (IT-221R3)
but these bulletins do not have the force and effect of law. Also there
appears to be three different Canadas, so it is not clear which one to use
when interpreting the statutes. There is the land mass known as Canada,
there is the definition of Canada in the Constitution Act, and there is the
CORPORATION with the nameCANADA, registered in Washington DC,
and with the Budget of Canada(presumably the labour of the people)
pledged as security for CANADA. More research is being conducted in
this area now in an attempt to clarify which statutes apply to which
Canada.

To test whether or not a natural-person can be a citizen, an individual

recently made an application for citizenship as a natural-person. This test,
wherein an individual wrote many letters to Citizenship and Immigration
requesting that this point be clarified and a Citizenship Card be issued to
the natural-person, ended in the Citizenship and Immigration Department
of the Canadian Government not wanting to address the issue and refusing
to issue a card to the natural-person. This provides a good
indication that the artificial-person is indeed the
Canadian Citizen.
