text: The Netherlands does not give citizenship based on place of birth, only by the nationality of the parents. If your mother was a dual Canadian and Dutch citizen, you would be a Dutch citizen automatically, but there are many ways you could lose it by staying out of the Kingdom for a long enough period of time. Regardless of all that, your mother's Canadian citizenship gives you Candian citizenship automatically. In either case, you do not need to apply for the additional citizenships, but provide proof of your claim citizenship when applying for something like a passport.
