Recent changes to Canadian citizenship law have expanded who may qualify for citizenship by descent, particularly for individuals with Canadian parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents born in Canada. In many cases, people who were previously not eligible may now be recognized as Canadian citizens. At the same time, the rules can be a bit complex—especially when it comes to proving family lineage and gathering the right documentation.

Given the potential complexity of tracing citizenship through multiple generations and assembling the required documentation, please reach out if you need assistance in navigating the application process.
