I live in Canada, I do have British Citizenship (by descent) and a British Passport. My 2 younger kids do not have anything but Canadian Passports. Am I able to bring them easily? And with my documentation am I able to live and work?

Hi and welcome to the Forum.

British citizens can bring non-nationality children (under 18) to live in the UK by applying for a family visa, provided they show sole or shared parental responsibility, adequate maintenance without public funds, and suitable accommodation. The child must not be married, in a civil partnership, or living an independent life.

Details on applying for a family visa can be found on the UK Gov website; this link will take you straight to it.

UK citizens have the right to live and work anywhere in the UK and Ireland.

I hope this helps.
