Show Notes
Canadas new Bill C-3 allows Americans with distant Canadian roots to claim citizenship, ending the first-generation limit. The law, effective since December 15, 2025, has sparked interest due to U.S. tensions. Ancestry can be traced back any number of generations with proof. Genealogy requests in Canada, particularly Quebec, have surged, with over 1,000 in January 2026, compared to 32 in 2025. This surge is linked to the Great Hemorrhage, when nearly one million French-speaking Canadians migrated to the U.S. between 1840 and 1930. Officials anticipate tens of thousands of applications, with processing times around eleven months and backlogs near 48,000.
