Help - Right to Abode UK

[Kath99]

My canadian son (born in 1990's) wants to move indefinately to the UK from Canada. I am a UK born mother now in Canada. Does he have right to abode? What is best way?

If you are a British Citizen who was born in the UK, your son is British by descent and therefore has the right of abode in the UK. He can apply directly for a British passport and enter the UK on it without hassle.
Passports applied for from abroad can take a while to process so if he needs to travel urgently it may be quicker to apply for a COA (Certificate of Entitlement to the Right of Abode), which is usually issued quicker but is also more expensive than a passport.

Or else he may be able to enter visa-free and then apply for a passport from inside the UK (?).
