Bill C-3 came into force December 15, 2025 - the most significant citizenship law change in decades.
If your Canadian parent was also born abroad, the old first-generation limit may have cut off your citizenship. Bill C-3 retroactively restores citizenship for those affected. You may already be a Canadian citizen. Apply for a citizenship certificate to get proof.
Check Your Eligibility →If born after the law came into force, your Canadian parent (also born abroad) must demonstrate 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada before your birth or adoption to pass citizenship to you.
Talk to an RCIC →Thousands of Americans are discovering they may be Canadian citizens through a grandparent.
