...have heard other rumors of this.? Okay. So, I'm 15 years old right now. I'll be turning 16 in a few months. I have lived in America for 11 years of my life, and my parents have not applied for citizenship yet. So, is there any possible way I can become a US citizen, I really wish to move to Canada to suprise someone. But, I don't believe I will be able to. I have heard, though, if you've lived here for 5 years and you're under 18, you're automatically a citizen. Is this true?
