This might be a stupid question but if we get our british passports, does that mean we can live in scottland with no visa??? Or will we still need to get a working or visiting visa to live there? We are from canada and my husbands father was born in england so we are in the process of getting him a passport. Does anyone know anything about this??? Thanks

Hiya!
A passport gives you full rights as a citizen. You are like anyone else.
I am from BC too, and moved to the UK five years ago after acquiring a British passport. (My mother was born in the UK) and I've never had a problem dealing with banks, the NHS etc..
Message me if you want to chat on the phone about it 
Cheers!
