I was born in Edinburgh in 1944 but have lived the majority of my life in Canada if I wanted to retire back to Scotland what would be required.

My grandparents were born and married in Scotland, but they moved to Canada. I am just curious as to where I would find an application form in order to start the process of applying for citizenship? Thank you

Good news. You were born in Scotland as so are already a dual UK / Canadian citizen. You don’t need a visa. Instead, you can apply for a UK Passport. And yes, you can hold both a UK and Canadian passport simultaneously.

I think you are still technicaly a British Citizen too unless you actively give up your citizenship but you should probably check with the British Embassy in Canada or something like that.

You need a license and visa to marry in Scotland – you can’t just marry someone while on holiday here.

Kills me that I’m one generation away for the ancestry one. Both my paternal great-grandparents were born in the U.K. And one also went back and passed away/was buried there.
