I have read all the info and maybe you can help ME? I was born in Newfoundland in 66 and still have my birth certificate. I am a US citizen because I was adopted and forced to go South to the US in 68. I now want to go to Toronto to live and dont want the red tape or want to wait. I wish to "visit" and then find an apt and work. Advise please?
RE: Question about moving
You may have dual citizenship, gatorco. If you were born in Canada and have proof of that, then I'd suggest that you take your documentation to the nearest Canadian consulate and find out from them what the next step is.

Well I called all of them and they all give me different info. One says "Oh! you need to resume citizenship!". While the next one says "Oh, you still are a citizen." See even the consulates dont know... I am so ready to just get my passport, and drive INTO Toronto as if I was a tourist, and go straight to the official offices and say, look, here I am, heres by birth cert, now what?

If you were born in Canada you are a citizen. When you come back to Canada, just tell customs people you were born here in Canada and are moving back. Make sure you have ID like birth certificate to make things more smooth.

Ya I got that, for sure! BUT what about all this talk on - oh if you were born and moved out of Canada before 1977 your "responsible" parent changed their citizenship,, blah, blah, my birth parents didnt change citizenship, my adopted parents were already US citizens... I'm totally confuzzed..

Maybe go see an immigration lawyer or call Canada Immigration to find out.
Have you gone here? click me
Maybe send the above an email?
Resumption of Citizenship
The above link states:
As of May 5, 2005, people who lost their Canadian citizenship as minors between January 1, 1947, and February 14, 1977, can apply to resume their citizenship without having to become permanent residents and live in Canada for one year. The requirements concerning official language ability and knowledge of Canada also do not apply to these cases, but the people concerned must make an application and take the oath of citizenship.
The current Application for Resumption of Citizenship under subsection 11(1) of the Citizenship Act should be used until a new form becomes available.
To apply from within Canada, download and print an application or contact the CIC Call Centre.
To apply from outside of Canada, download and print an application or contact the nearest Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate.
They have forms for you to download at that link telling you how to apply etc and everything else you may need.

I am trying to get away from a VERY abusive boyfriend, and I called one of the local shelters. They said that I should stay with them and they will help me get paperwork done, Is this a good idea? If so, I wanted to do this ASAP like late January (waiting on paychecks)

Get to a shelter as soon as you can, then move north as fast as you can manage it, gatoraco.

concur with above recomendations. Get to a shelter.ASAP and work with the staff at making sure you remain safe ...while making plans for the immediate future. Not a time for ambivilence.
RE: Question about moving
Get to a local shelter where you are and stay with them while you get the money together, then as soon as is humanly possible, get up to Canada and get settled.
Good luck to you in everything! And don't hesitate to ask questions, or to just stop in and let us know how you are doing.
