Millions of Americans with Canadian ancestry can now claim citizenship under new retroactive laws.
As of December 15, 2025, Canada’s updated citizenship laws under Bill C-3 allow millions of Americans with Canadian ancestry to claim citizenship by descent, regardless of how many generations removed they are.
The change removes the prior first-generation limit and applies retroactively, enabling individuals to prove lineage through documents like birth, marriage, or property records.
Demand has surged, with archives reporting massive increases in requests, particularly from Americans concerned about U.S. instability.
Processing takes about 11 months, and applicants may eventually obtain a Canadian passport, enabling dual citizenship and permanent residency rights.
