What I would do is pay a lawyer in Canada to get their birth certificates.

That includes great, great grandparents.
Two of my great, great grandparents (my grandfather’s grandparents) were born in Canada. Reading through the law, I’m having trouble identifying exactly where this makes me eligible. Can I ask for a bit of help pointed in the right direction?
I have my birth certificate linking to my father, his birth certificate linking him to my grandfather. Then US census records linking my grandfather to my great grandmother, and US census records linking her to her (Canadian born) parents. I guess I need to find proof of their Canadian births…

I would look at the FAQ on finding n documentation in the subreddit.
Family Search and Ancestry will help find Census records, birth certificates and baptismal records (for periods before civil registration which came quite late in several provinces).
Once you know where and when your Canadian ancestors were born, you will be in a good place to get a baptismal record from the appropriate provincial archives.

Go read the FAQ on this… you are probably reading some old info. The law changed due to the old law being ruled unconstitutional. You are most likely eligible based on what you’ve stated.
