    So, if I understand this correctly, if I can prove that one of my ancestors was a Canadian citizen, then all their descendants have automatically been made Canadian citizens, including me?

    I was hopeful for a moment then realized that my Canadian ancestors would have been British.

    Not me! My great great great great grandmother died in Quebec, but that’s about my only connection to Canada :P
