    My father was born legitimately in England to British parents. He moved to Canada when he was a child and I was born legitimately to him in Canada.

    I would like to make a permanent move to England next summer.

    How do I go about obtaining my British citizenship? I am eligible for a British passport and have all the documentation. Will obtaining my passport make me a citizen and therefore eligible to work in England?

    I have read and re-read the British Home Office website over and over and can't make heads or tails of it.

    Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

    The matter of British Citizenship of children born outside Britain is a very complicated issue because there are different rules depending on which year you were born or what your parents were doing at that time (i.e. if they were in crown service in certain qualifying territories or something like that). I think it will be advisable to contact a Lawyer about this. Here is a link with some information.
