Canadian Citizenship Restored for Descendants of Quebec Migration
· WOWERI
Bill C-3 has restored Canadian citizenship to descendants of Quebec migration. They can now obtain Canadian citizenship by descent.
Introduction
Bill C-3, passed in December 2025, has restored Canadian citizenship to descendants of Quebec migration. This means that people whose ancestors emigrated from Quebec to the US between 1840 and 1930 can now obtain Canadian citizenship by descent.
History of Quebec Migration
Between 1840 and 1930, nearly one million French Canadians left the province of Quebec for a better life in the US. Today, thanks to Bill C-3, their descendants in America can obtain Canadian citizenship, even if they have never been to Canada.
How to Obtain Canadian Citizenship by Descent
To obtain Canadian citizenship by descent, you need to provide documents proving your descent from a Quebec migrant. You can consult with immigration specialists for this purpose.
