Summary
Under the new rules, which allow more descendants of Canadians to claim citizenship compared with just first-generation descendants previously, approvals for proof of citizenship by descent have risen by more than 1,000 per month so far this year, data from Canada's immigration agency shows.

That compares with just 275 additional approvals in December 2025, when the new law went into effect.
The data also shows that roughly 48% of the additional approvals through February originated from the U.S.
Immigration lawyers say the high percentage of Americans reflects the historically close ties between the two neighboring countries, while signaling that many Americans see Canada as an attractive place to live or study, especially given recent U.S. political uncertainty.
"The biggest thing is it gives our family options," said William Hunnewell, a 41-year-old based in Seattle who applied earlier this year and expects a response in nine months to a year. His great-grandfather was a homesteader in Saskatchewan before World War One and his grandfather was born in Canada.

For those of you who read Graham Greene’s “The Power and the Glory”, I could imagine a northern version happening in the foreseeable future.
One time offer......
That is funny and yet so sad at the same time.
“...a 41-year-old based in Seattle who applied earlier this year and expects a response in nine months to a year...”. Whaaat, he can’t just sneak across and claim all those “benefits”??? They have a process-how inhumane are those Canadians!

Today’s Eastern Canadian provinces are still operating with the same peasant mentality of their traitorous American ancestors...
Elbows up!
The price of homes up there is insane and the taxes high. They are are leftist so let them go.
I was going to post that very gif in comment number one but decided to give you the opportunity. :)
I suggest processing them at the border crossing in Portal, ND in January.
Do you have to prove citizenship to vote.
