		As Canadian independence was obtained incrementally over the course of many years since the formation of the Canadian Confederation in 1867, the Second World War in particular gave rise to a desire amongst Canadians to have their country recognized as a fully-fledged sovereign state with a distinct citizenship
		One class of Canadian citizens by descent who can still claim citizenship are those whose births were registered as required by the 1947 Act, but who then lost their Canadian citizenship when their responsible parent (normally the father) became a naturalized citizen of another country.
		Former Canadian citizens who lost their citizenship as adults are generally required to obtain landed immigrant (permanent resident) status under normal rules and live in Canada for one year in order to resume Canadian citizenship.

	CIC Canada \| Forging Our Legacy: Canadian Citizenship and Immigration, 1900-1977
		The Canadian Citizenship Act, which was enacted on 27 June 1946 and came into force on 1 January 1947, provided for the conferring of a common Canadian citizenship on all Canadians, whether or not they had been born in Canada.
		Canadian citizenship, however, was deemed a privilege to be granted only to those considered qualified.
		Not surprisingly, the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1947 coincided with a post-war rise in immigration.

	The Chinese Immigration Act, 1923 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chinese Immigration Act, 1923, known in the Chinese-Canadian community as the Chinese Exclusion Act, was an act passed by the federal government of Canada, banning most forms of Chinese immigration to Canada.
		Prior to 1923, Chinese immigration was already heavily controlled by the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885, which imposed a hefty head tax on all immigrants from China.
		Due to both a feeling of horror after Nazi race-oriented deathcamps were discovered and the contribution of Chinese communities in Canada during World War II, the Canadian government repealed the act on May 14, 1947 (necessary with the enactment of the Canadian Citizenship Act 1946 on July 1, 1947).

		In July 1946, Joe and his mother came to Canada on the Queen Mary as part of the famed War Bride transportation but as fate would have it, the marriage didn't last: Joe and his mother returned to England and Joe grew up always knowing that he was a Canadian citizen...or so he thought.
