Hello, I was just wondering If anyone knew if it was possible for someone with a great grandfather which was born and raised in scottland then immigrated to canada, and another great grandfather which was born in England where eligable to get a dual canadian/british citizenship. Thank you

No, you don't qualify for citizenship. You would have to have a grandparent (not great) to even qualify for an ancestry visa.

What if I got my grandparent to register, would I then be able?

Your grandparent needs to be born in the UK to qualify. So I don't think you do.

If you are under 28 or 29, you could
get the working holiday work permit. It can be transferred to a regular immigration status after a year. Citizenship is maybe 5 years after that.
Good luck!
