Do you have a parent that was born in canada?

If your mother or father was born or naturalized in Canada you may be a citizen! Under a recent amendment to Canada’s Citizenship Act, almost all persons who have a parent born or naturalized in Canada are now Canadian citizens. This new law applies to the first born generation abroad.

If you are a Canadian citizen, or a first generation born abroad who has gained citizenship to Canada, you are able to sponsor your children if they are under the age of 22. You may also sponsor your husband, wife, or common law partner regardless of age.
