Born outside Canada to a Canadian parent? Here's what just changed

If you were born outside Canada but have a Canadian parent or grandparent, you may already have a pathway to Canadian citizenship. Recent changes to the law address the “second-generation limitation” making this the right time to act.

  • One Canadian parent, born abroad
  • Grandparent was Canadian, parent wasn’t
  • Adopted by Canadian citizens abroad

We had an excellent experience working with Mark Lembersky and Aleksandr Ti throughout the entire ancestry citizenship application process for our family of eight in the US!
