[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can get a Canadian birth certificate for a grandparent you can get citizenship under this law. The 3 year thing is only for births after November 2025.

There's also a possibility through great grandparents and further. I did it through a great grandparent last summer and have heard rumors of it further out, but I would not bet on it too much if it's further than grandparent.

Check out r/canadiancitizenship if you're curious.[/quote]

It goes back further than than great grandparents. But this is off topic. If you want to talk about out how to get citizenship start your own thread. This is about political motivations and implications of the law given the timing, who profits, influence on politics, etc. [/quote]

What about them? What do you think is the motivation? I couldn't really find anything beyond the facts of who qualifies. I could see trying to right wrongs over the Great Upheaval but that was so long ago it could be tough to document. I did read over 500k Americans could qualify but I'm not sure what that does politically as it'd be a mix of people in terms of political backgrounds.[/quote]

The Canadian government took very good records before computers.  Some go back to the 1600s , especially French immigrants.   In Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland the French Acadians were kicked out of the country by England in the 1700s, but all of French Acadians didn't leave.  There were small towns that were French speaking and schools that taught in French even in the early 1900s.   The British did find their way to the small towns and banned French speaking in schools.   My grandmother told me that her mother spoke French only, my grandmother was bilingual and my mother speaks English and understands French but forgets how to speak it.

If you have any Canadian ancestors it is worth digging into and finding the records.   No country can guarantee stability and that includes the US.
