          Eligibility Criteria

          You are eligible for Canadian citizenship if you were born outside of Canada and at least one of your biological or legal parents at birth was already a Canadian citizen when you were born. The Canadian government's formal process to find out if you are a citizen is to submit what is called a "proof of Canadian citizenship" application (also known as applying for a "Canadian citizenship certificate"). 

          It is important to note that Canada limits citizenship by descent to the first generation born outside Canada to a Canadian parent.

          You can apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate at any time of your life.

          You can also submit the application irrespective of whether your Canadian parent is alive or deceased.

          Note that children adopted by a Canadian after they were born need to become a Canadian citizen. They are not eligible to apply for a Canadian citizensh
