That includes great, great grandparents.
In order to obtain proof of Canadian citizenship, you would need to document your line of descent through historical documents and birth records.

Anyone want to be my parent? Asking for a friend.
I wonder if I, too, could be a citizen by recursion.
That can’t be right. That’s infinitely recursive…
Canada has only existed since 1867, so not exactly.
So, if I understand this correctly, if I can prove that one of my ancestors was a Canadian citizen, then all their descendants have automatically been made Canadian citizens, including me?
Yes it seems so, but only up to people born before Dec 15 2025. Anyone born after require that their Canadian parent had spent at least 3 years in Canada, in order to also be Canadian
Ugh, just missed it. I was born on the 16th
Inductively so, if they’re still alive.
I was hopeful for a moment then realized that my Canadian ancestors would have been British.
Guess we’re going to be Canada
Not me! My great great great great grandmother died in Quebec, but that’s about my only connection to Canada :P
Am I the only one that read this as an incest joke?
If it’s a joke, I don’t understand my own joke :P
