Canadian Proof of Citizenship

Canadian Proof of Citizenship Assistance in Toronto, ON

Children of Canadian citizens born in Canada may apply for proof of citizenship at any age provided they were the first-generation born abroad to a Canadian citizen.

For example, a foreign citizen born to a Canadian citizen, who themselves was also born abroad and also acquired Canadian citizenship through their parents, is typically not eligible for Canadian citizenship through their parents as the second-generation born abroad.

Adopted children of Canadian citizens are eligible for Canadian citizenship but the two-step process takes longer and involves more steps than those who are biological children of Canadian citizens.
