Pour être qualifié de ressortissant d'un pays, il faut être en dehors de ce pays. Un Canadien au Canada n'est pas un ressortissant canadien, mais un Canadien tout simplement. Cependant, si ce même Canadien se trouve à l'étranger, il devient par le fait même un ressortissant canadien. 2, record 1, French, - ressortissant%20d%27un%20pays
