Until 1947 British immigrants from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland automatically became citizens of Canada. So those settling in Alberta did not need naturalization. Non-British immigrants, however, were required to make oaths of allegiance before receiving land grants. Files containing these oaths and petitions for citizenship covering the years 1817 to 1846 are found at the Provincial Archives. | Until 1947 British immigrants from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland automatically became citizens of Canada.
