If you have Canadian roots, you might be surprised to learn that a new law could make you a citizen, even if you never thought it was possible. Canada just expanded its citizenship rules, potentially opening the door for many more people, especially Americans, to claim their birthright.
Canada recently passed Bill C-71, significantly expanding who can become a Canadian citizen by descent.
This bill received Royal Assent on June 19, 2024, and became law, changing a long-standing 'second-generation cut-off' rule.
