No ... Alexander Graham Bell was a Canadian. He came to Canada at the
age of 23. The first practical, long distance telephone call was made
on August 10, 1876, by the then 29-year-old Alexander Graham Bell from
downtown Brantford, Ontario to his assistant in Paris, Ontario, a
distance of about 10 miles.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bell was never a Canadian citizen. He was
born in Scotland, immigrated to Canada in 1870 and to the U.S. in 1871, and
became a naturalized American citizen in 1882.
