Re: Player Lives and Random Gossip

Anyone born on US soil is automatically a US citizen. And googling tells me that anyone born outside of Canada whose parents are Canadian citizens were born on Canadian soil is automatically a Canadian citizen, but they are not a Canadian citizen if their parent was a Canadian citizen who was born outside Canada? I think. That is very weird and confusing, Canada.

Also, could conceivably have an effect on third generation NHLers.

The Canadian government's website states you're a citizen if 'you were born outside Canada after April 17, 2009, and at least one of your parents was naturalized in Canada before your birth' so even if their parents were Canadian citizens who were born outside of Canada, I think they still count!

That's not confusing, that's just a grandparent rule. You're not Canadian just because both sets of your grandparents were Canadian, although your parents are.

I'm wondering if it works that way in the US, but I doubt it since it would be a mess. There are probably residency requirements, but that could potentially deny a lot of rightful people citizenship.

I'd imagine that, even if the child of an NHLer who was born in the US was not automatically a Canadian citizen because that NHLer was also born in the US when their parent played in the NHL, it'd still be pretty easy to get that kid Canadian citizenship.

I think the idea was more depriving the child of US citizenship (so they won't be able to play for the US) than getting them Canadian citizenship though
