What Changed in December 2025?

Before Bill C-3: You could only claim citizenship if your Canadian parent was born in Canada. The second-generation rule blocked many descendants.

After Bill C-3 (Dec 15, 2025): You can now claim citizenship if your parent or grandparent was born in Canada and was a Canadian citizen. This opens the door for thousands of Americans with Canadian ancestry.

Why it matters:You may already be Canadian under the new rules. No application needed — just proof. That's where Escape Hatch comes in.

We trace the chain of descent so you know exactly where you stand.
