Neither of them was born in Canada, they just lived here for a couple of
years as kids.

And even if they had been born here, it wouldn't matter - there are
several other criteria used in deciding on CanCon, including where it was
recorded/produced, etc. Don't you remember the big stink Bryan Adams
raised a few years back when an album he recorded in the UK with all
British and European collaborators wasn't considered CanCon? T'was funny
to see him so viciously bite the hand that fed him since he'd be a nobody
without the CanCon rules that allows his crap music to be played in the
first place.
