A thousand thanks, Poncho, you definitely are my new favorite one <3

No kidding?? That’s huge news! Honestly, thank you so much for letting me know!
How familiar are you with the process? Can I ask you if my line qualifies? If so, this is what it looks like: Me -> F -> GM -> GGM. My GGM was born in Canada, GM born in the states in 1935, GGM naturalized in 1942.
I’m very familiar with the Italian citizenship by descent process, so I know the edge cases around that, but not for Canada. Are there any hidden exceptions that would disqualify someone with my line? They happen a lot for Italy.
Honestly, I’m so glad you made this post! If this works, I’ll need to thank you from the bottom of my heart!

When I read about this a few weeks ago, there was a requirement that my GM needed to have lived in Canada for (I think it was something like) two years to show a cultural connection. Is this no longer a requirement?

Gotcha, no problem, just a miscommunication :) Yes, DL 36/2025 is all about citizenship by descent, jure sanguinis. That’s the new decree that has changed things recently, preventing many people from claiming citizenship. It’s still possible that residency could be added as a requirement on top of parental ties, and in fact it has been for minor children beyond grandchildren.
I’ll be watching how it all plays out along with you. Good luck on your journey!

Varyk is correct, the cnn article has errors. Currently there is no language requirement in DL 36/2025, and the only residency requirement is to live there for 2 years before the birth or adoption of a child to pass citizenship on, if your parents weren’t born there. DDL 1450 is a proposed amendment that, in part, would allow minor children to fulfill the 2 year residency themselves, and (I believe) if they are no longer a minor, 3 years
Here is an english translation of DL 36/2025. The actual text of the decree is near the bottom
