Can you prove that one of your direct ancestors was a Canadian citizen? Congratulations, you may well be entitled to Canadian citizenship yourself. Not by immigration, but by registration.
I highly encourage my trans and queer followers who live in the US and have the option to claim Canadian citizenship by blood do so.
@mos_8502 My mum’s from Northern Ireland, so I switched to an Irish passport after Brexit to keep my EU citizenship.

I'm not telling you to move. That's for you to decide, if you're able. I'm telling you that you are allowed to have as many citizenships as countries that will claim you, and we want to claim you.
@mos_8502 If only I could go as far back as Evangeline. I only know back to turn of the last century New Orleans.

@mos_8502 Very cool and all, but man, we really gotta build some housing.

@mos_8502 This also includes first nations ancestry. And if you have French ancestry and can find that one of those French ancestors was born in what is now Canada going as far back as fur trappers over a century before the formation of Canada, I have seen people successfully apply for citizenship. It may also be possible to obtain permanent residency faster. In which case, residing in Canada for three years once you have that status is enough to apply for citizenship.

Now, Canada is no paradise. It's as flawed as any nation. But it's also a functioning democracy, with a government led by people who actually know what they're doing -- fascism has little power here. Life here can be very hard at times, for many reasons, economic and social and geographical, but it's hard in ways that feel to me more fair than those in the US.

@mos_8502 my mother is Cajun French but their land was stolen by the British Canadians and they were deported. Some of my relatives still don't forgive Canada for that theft

@mos_8502 The citizenship already exists and just needs to be registered, or starts to exist by registration?

@tessarakt It's a formal recognition of citizenship having been valid all along, basically. But the burden is on you to prove your claim. The further back it goes, the harder that gets, of course. It's easiest if you have a living parent or grandparent who is a Canadian citizen, but dead works too.

Similarly: if you are a direct descendant of jews who fled (or were expelled) from Nazi Germany in the 1930s/1940s, you will get German citizenship if you just apply for it
(also necessary here: paper trail - Germany bureaucracy is legendary though functional) -

Was so happy to read this last month, and am currently digging out all the details I can on my mom's parents, who were both Canadian. This might give me hope for the future...
And thank you *so* much for the reddit community, I had merely looked at the application process cold and it was quite confusing. THANK YOU!!!

Oh, I wouldn't say it's as flawed as *any* nation. -
