The Royal Family
Though she resides predominantly in the United Kingdom and it is uncertain whether or not a monarch is subject to his or her own citizenship laws, the Queen of Canada is considered to be Canadian. She and those others in the Royal Family who do not meet the requirements of Canadian citizenship (there are four Canadian citizens within the Royal Family) are not classified by either the government or some royal experts as foreigners to Canada; in the Canadian context, members of the Royal Family are subjects specifically of the monarch of Canada. Members of the Royal Family have also, on occasion, declared themselves to be Canadian and called Canada "home".
