there is an absurdly large rush of americans applying for canadian citizenship because canada recently allowed anyone with ancestry, multi-generations back, to qualify
- gausswho 7mo agoWasn't that revised to a single generation?
- micromacrofoot 7mo agono, it used to be single generation but now people as far back as 4-5 are getting citizenship — I'm helping others go through the process myself but it's taking months longer than it used to due to the influx
- gausswho 7mo agoHow does that work so many generations back? Doesn't Bill C-3 add the additional requirement to demonstrate your parent(s) must have lived in Canada for ~3 years in order to make that path available?
- micromacrofoot 7mo agoThat new law is only required for people applying after the law went into effect (so, babies at this point). I have a feeling there may be more changes coming due to the rush of applicants, but they are incredibly unlikely to revoke anyone who successfully applies before that happens.
- hedora 7mo agoI frequently see billboards in the SF Bay Area encouraging professionals to move to Canada. My main concern is that it might not be far enough away.
- micromacrofoot 7mo agoI don't plan on moving, but I already have dual citizenship and it helps me sleep better at night knowing that if things got so bad to restrict US passports I have an alternative.
