You know what? You are a Filipino because you were born in the Philippines and because your parents are Filipinos.
You are a Canadian because you are born here in Canada even if your parents are both Filipinos and are living and residing in Canada. Jus soli (by land)
You can become a Canadian citizen if you are immigrant by following instructions on how to obtain citizenship and you have to live in Canada for more than 2 years as permanent resident. Also if you passed the Citizenship test.
You are a Canadian because you are naturally born here in Canada and your parents are naturally born Canadians in Canada. Jus sanguini (by blood)
In several extraordinary situations wherein your parents are Filipinos, your Mother is pregnant traveling with your Father and aboard a Canadian airline halfway flight between Canada & USA and suddenly your Mother had unexpectedly must deliver the infant right away inside the plane. And the baby was born... What nationality would the baby takes? The baby could take dual citizenship Filipino-Canadian and could take the American citizenship too. It depends though.
A baby could take several citizenship if the airline they are in was a China Airline and the flight was between airspace of two-three countries, born from parents with two different nationalities. Or perhaps the labor or delivery of the baby happened in between airspace of Italy and Switzerland aboard Lufthanza airline. It never happened yet in real life but that could be possible for extraordinary baby. Well that happened to Dr. Jose P. Rizal. He is a multilingual human a linguist, a genius in his own rights born from human parents in Philippines who were Chinese/Malay/Filipino/German/Austrian. During Rizal's time, there is no such thing as racism. If there was racism 500 years of Spanish conquest wont even happen for such a very long, long, long years. I think of Dr. Rizal behind the genius of Isaac Newton & Albert Einstein. Such phenomenal. Extra-terrestial.
Just now happened to listen to Ms. Jenny Kwan (NDP Parliamentarian - Politician) regarding about citizenship and stateless child because the child was born in the US of Canadian parents. The situation happened because of extraordinary circumstances. Due to Bill 37 whatever that is have to review later.
How that impossible or impossible that an infant can be a "stateless" just because the baby was born in the US? The baby who was born in the US automatically is American citizen whose parents are Canadians. You cannot deny citizenship to an infant! It is not the baby's fault. It's just a matter of "certification."
Where in the world that citizenship based on "just soli and jus sanguini" a matter of impossibility and difficulty? You can study LAW, POLITICAL SCIENCE and gather old books and you'll find that out no child is stateless unless if the state or country doesn't exist. No man is an island. lol. OMG! What the hell a simple solution cannot be put into right place. Who the fuk owns the planet EARTH? Who has the right to the whole planet Earth? How many earthquakes you want? For God sake!
While there are special circumstances wherein some people are given " honorary citizenship" depends on what favor? That is quite confusing, rather what are those special favor?
We have neighbors who are born in Canada therefore they are Canadians. The neighbor's wife had a baby boy delivered in the US. The wife was scheduled to have labor in Canada, in Canadian hospital but her pregnancy was delicate and need intensive specialized care so she was rushed to the US. Many years later, the boy has just turned 16 years old and he wants to seek employment but the boy needs SIN # from Canada but he has problem with that SIN Card application because he was born in the US. I don't know why when his parents are both Canadian (White not Black, not Brown race). The parents of the couple are Canadians. What's the trouble? Why complicate things?
I think the LAW & JUSTICE, Immigration & Citizenship in every country is different. They have certain laws to follow. It's not what I learned from Political science subject in Philippines.
