I am living in US currently. I am working on my degree right now. My mom didn't know she could have dual citizenship until she was 30ish because grandma hated it in Canada and was afraid mom would move there.

first of all where do you live . if you want to move tothe UK from a crown colony (new zealand, Austrailia) it is much easier . You need to prove that you have a job to go to that is in a high demand field and that you will will not be a burden to the UK and expect to be on social assistance. It took less than a year for my niece's family to get to Canada from New Zealand . She is a Bank Teller and he is a certified Dairyman ( a high demand field) her mother came to Canada fron UK and then went to NZ she never did bother to get her Canadian citizenship. The key is to find out what the high demand fields are and go that route. Your GFather's citizenship may or may not play into it

Canada is fully independent from Great Britain
i don't know if your grandpa had British
nationality and your mother or father can claim it off they parent but you can't claim it from your grandpa (can't skip one generation)

If one of your grandparents was a British citizen, you could apply for settlement on grounds of ancestry; otherwise, you will be in the same situation as anyone else with the same passport as yours.

Your grandfather's nationality is less important than your own. Where were you born? What is your current nationality? and where are you living now?
