Changes to Canadian Citizenship Law
Bill C-3, recently passed, removed the previous limit for some people born or adopted before December 15, 2025. This means that some adopted individuals who were previously unable to claim Canadian citizenship through a Canadian ancestor may now be eligible to apply.
Who Can Apply
To be eligible for Canadian citizenship by descent, you must meet certain requirements. For example, you must be the adopted child of a Canadian citizen or have a Canadian ancestor who meets the requirements.
How to Apply
If you believe you may be eligible for Canadian citizenship by descent, you must apply for proof of Canadian citizenship. To do this, you will need to provide certain documents, such as a birth certificate, adoption documents, and proof of your ancestor's Canadian citizenship.
