Those look like immigration records. Natural born citizens wouldn’t be found there. The page also says the records aren’t proof of citizenship but oddly can be used for employment or government purposes (I’m not sure what other purposes you’d use it for?).
No list is needed since someone is a Canadian citizen if they meet the definition in the Citizenship Act, not if their name is on a list.
We dont actually have a list of citizens. There is no way of knowing without proof of citizenship. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/06/the-supreme-courts-big-data-problem-118568/
Canada does have a list of citizens, thats the difference.
I’ve never heard of that. I’d be interested if you have a source.
