Jamaica: Whether a Cuban woman who resided and worked in Jamaica in the 1990s on a work permit and who married a naturalized Jamaican in early 1999 has a right to Jamaican citizenship
During a telephone interview on 8 August 2000, the Second Secretary of the Jamaican High Commission in Ottawa stated that a Cuban woman married to a naturalized Jamaican who has a citizenship certificate has a right to Jamaican citizenship. In order to obtain Jamaican citizenship, she would have to apply for it.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
