And offered those with a Canadian parent official citizenship, no matter the age. My friend, whose mother was Canadian had her children in the US. Her husband, an American, worked for the US government overseas and he did not want to have to deal with extra passports every time they crossed a border so the kids traveled with a U.S. passport and were officially only US citizens. Mom of course had her Canadian documents. She always wanted her kids to have Canadian citizenship. When Canada offered the opportunity to be recognized my friend took them up on it to honor his mother. He was long an adult and she had passed but it is something he did because he knew it was her wish.
