By 1958, he had lived in Australia for ten years, and then sought to renew his Canadian passport but was unable to do so because he had been a naturalised Canadian who had not lived in Canada for more than three years).<ref>Harry Seidler and Penelope Seidler interviewed by Craig McGregor on 11 February 1990.
