Canada's broader citizenship rules draw strong American interest, data shows

TORONTO, May 30 (Reuters) - While U.S.-Canadian relations have frayed under U.S. President Donald Trump, data on Canadian citizenship approvals under recently widened rules suggests many Americans would welcome the ‌chance to become Canadian.

Under the new rules, which allow more descendants of Canadians to claim citizenship ‌compared with just first-generation descendants previously, approvals for proof of citizenship by descent have risen by more than 1,000 per month so ​far this year, data from Canada's immigration agency shows.

I looked in to that, when the law was first changed. iirc, I would need to show a Canadian birth certificate for either of my paternal grandparents. Fat chance. My dad said his dad anglicanized his name when he came to the US, so I only have the full, original name, for his mother: Marceline Saint Laurent. Technically, while my dad was born in the US, his parents did not become naturalized citizens until after his birth, so he had a claim to Canadian citizenship.
