Changes to Canada's Citizenship Law
Since December, thousands of Americans have discovered they are now dual US-Canadian citizens. This is due to changes in Canada's citizenship law that took effect in December. Dual citizenship means a person has citizenship in two countries and can enjoy the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in both countries. If you have at least one Canadian ancestor, you and your children are also dual citizens. This means you can apply for a Canadian passport and enjoy all the rights and privileges that come with Canadian citizenship.
Next Steps
If you think you may be a dual US-Canadian citizen, you should check your status and learn more about the laws and regulations that govern dual citizenship in both countries. You can consult with an immigration attorney to get more information and guidance.
