Changes to Canada's Citizenship Law
After changes to Canada's citizenship law took effect on December 15, 2025, millions of Americans are finding out they are also Canadian citizens. If your spouse is one of them, they can apply for proof of Canadian citizenship. If Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) confirms their citizenship, they'll receive a certificate of citizenship.
Eligibility for Citizenship
To determine if you're eligible for citizenship, you need to check if your spouse meets the requirements for citizenship by descent. If they do, you may be able to apply for citizenship through the spousal sponsorship program.
