Canadian Citizenship by Inheritance
Claim Your Right to Canadian Citizenship by Descent
Were you born outside Canada to a Canadian parent? You may already be a Canadian citizen by descent — even without having lived in Canada.
Who Qualifies?
- Individuals born abroad to at least one Canadian parent (first-generation only)
- Canadian parent was a citizen at the time of your birth
- You were born after February 14, 1977 (in most cases)
