In December 2025, Canada updated its citizenship law, expanding the definition of a Canadian citizen. Now, you may automatically be Canadian if one of your parents, grand-parents or even great-grandparents were born in Canada!
For example: if your great-grandfather was born in Canada but moved to the USA as a child, all of his children (including your grandmother or grandfather) are automatically Canadian. Since your grandparent is therefore Canadian, their children (your mother or father) are also Canadian… and now so are you!
As a Canadian citizen you could enter, live and work anywhere in Canada with no residence permit required.
A citizenship certificate is required to live in and travel to Canada as a citizen. You need this proof of citizenship to apply for a Canadian passport as well.
