Millions of Americans Now Eligible for Canadian Passport
· WOWERI
Canada has updated its citizenship law, allowing millions of Americans to obtain a Canadian passport. The changes apply not only to celebrities but also to everyday citizens.
Changes to Canadian Citizenship Law
In late December 2025, Canada updated its citizenship law, removing the first-generation limit to inheriting Canadian citizenship based on ancestry. This means that millions of Americans, including celebrities like Mark Wahlberg, Ellen DeGeneres, and Chloë Sevigny, can now obtain a Canadian passport.
What This Means for Americans
The new rules apply not only to celebrities but also to everyday Americans who have Canadian ancestry. If you have Canadian roots, you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship and a passport.
How to Apply
To apply for Canadian citizenship, you must meet certain requirements, such as living in Canada for a specified period, speaking English or French, and having no criminal record.
