That says a lot about the number of people moving to Alberta and the snails pace to get facilities built to support the increase in demand for infrastructure and services. Don't worry though, its not just an Alberta problem. Happens in every big city that sees quick growth. Phoenix is scrambling to get new hospitals built to support the demand, and it's all because the population exploded with a wave of new Phoenicians from other locals. I can imagine what Calgary is going through is pretty similar.

All the information you need is here.

To answer your question directly, you can access the Child Citizenship Act page here.

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...0048f3d6a1RCRD

I think the answer to your question is:

7) Is automatic citizenship provided for those who are 18 years of age or older?

No. Individuals who are 18 years of age or older on February 27, 2001, do not qualify for citizenship under the CCA, even if they meet all other criteria. If they wish to become U.S. citizens, they must apply for naturalization and meet eligibility requirements that currently exist for adult lawful permanent residents.

At which point your next step would be to complete the N-400 form and follow the guidelines in the Naturalization Guide.

The whole process will take you about a year if you're living in the States. Not sure how long it takes residing outside of the States.

thanks, though it was merely just for curiosity. i have no intention of living in the states anytime soon, though you can never predict the future too far down
