Second or subsequent generations were no longer applicable for Canadian citizenship, with some exceptions, such as those families who were working for the Canadian government.

In Canada (except Quebec), vehicles must be 15 years old to the month of manufacture in order for them to be legally imported and driven without the worry of having them impounded, seized or crushed. And in the U.S, vehicles must be 25 years old to the month of manufacture.

Children born outside Canada in the second or subsequent generations must take steps to retain citizenship before their 28th birthday.
