Comment on If you have ANY Canadian ancestor, you are likely a Canadian citizen as a result of recent changes in Canadian law

  I’ve hopped on ancestry and found my sixth great grandmother from Nova Scotia and her father from New Brunswick. But from what I can gather, that would be a bit too far back and still under British rule.

    From the wiki

    "But my parent/grandparent/great-grandparent/etc. left Canada before January 1, 1947 (April 1, 1949 if your line goes back to Newfoundland) / naturalized as a citizen of another country / married a citizen of another country / served in the military of another country."

    Yes, that’s true for many of us. That does not matter. You can still get a citizenship certificate.
