Yes, but if you are no longer a minor, & your parents did not claim citizenship for you, when born, you may have to go the green card route. Don't rule things out till you know what it entails. I think you should speak/consult a competent immigration lawyer.
I remember newspaper clippings about children of US citizens who were on duty out of the US and who were born in a foreign country. Even though the parents were US citizens, the child had to go through getting citizenship papers when their work brought them back into the US.
Maybe things have changed. I'll bet there is a website that will tell you all those general things. There certainly is for Canada and for the United Kingdom.
I have my fathers birth cert, my parents marriage cert(quebec), well, since he stayed until 18 in the US and I was born in 1967, i think i can apply right? the problem is that i dont have any other proof as my father never aplied for a us passport(and never even became a canadian citizen
You have your Father's birth certificate. That should help with the U.S. info about your father.
OP, you didn't say whether you were born in Canada or the USA. Even if both your parents are from Mars, you're considered a presumptive US citizen if you were born south of the border. Canadians are always welcome to apply regardless of who their parents are. You're our friendly neighbor to the north. There are no negative stereotypes about Canadians (Bob & Doug McKenzie aside) like the ones about immigrants from Pakistan and (shudder) France.
I'm assuming Op you were born in Canada? If your father was born in the U.S. and lived here till he was 18, but you were born in Canada, I would assume that you would have dual citizenship between the U.S. and Canada.
OP's father cannot sponsor him for a green card as he is deceased. OP either has citizenship or has no entitlement to any immigration benefits.
Your father's birth certificate is proof of his citizenship. Anyone with an official US issued birth certificate is a citizen. That's how it works here. Hopefully having a female help you out so that you don't have to do any hard work of your own didn't make you feel like too much of a mop.
Riley's post number four here seems to indicate the OP is not eligible for US citizenship because he/she was born prior to 1986. I'm not sure of Riley's source but on the face of it, the OP does not qualify.
