Changes to Canadian Law
Due to changes in Canadian law, one in seven Rhode Islanders is now eligible for a Canadian passport. This is because the first-generation limit to inheriting Canadian citizenship has been eliminated. Bill C-3, which recently came into effect, allows any American born before December to claim Canadian citizenship.
What this means for Rhode Islanders
Rhode Islanders with French-Canadian or Franco-American heritage now have a greater chance of obtaining a Canadian passport. This is due to the strong historical ties between Rhode Island and Canada.
