Theoretically it seems my kids can now get German passports for their kids, ad infinitum. This seems like a loophole of sorts.
I was born to German parents who reside/resided in Canada.I applied for my german passport at German consulate in Toronto and received passport in approx.3 weeks.Both my kids,age 28 and 25 s/b able to apply for a German passport.
Both parents became Canadian citizens after i was born.My two youngest brothers will not be able to get their German passport as both parents were Canadian citizens at that time.
