Yes. As a child of a person born in England you may be able to claim British citizenship. It will depend upon the current laws governing citizenship in Britain. Canada does permit dual nationality in respect of British citizens, so that you could hold a Canadian passport and a British passport. If your parents have come from other countries, you can check the laws governing citizenship in the particular country to see if you can claim citizenship through your parents. You will also have to check whether Canada permits dual nationality with that country. Last Reviewed: August 2012
