Millions of New Englanders may qualify for Canadian citizenship proof

Descendants of French Canadians who emigrated to New England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries may now qualify for Canadian citizenship under Bill C-3, known as the “Lost Canadians Act.” This legislation, effective since December 2025, allows citizenship to extend beyond the first generation born abroad, provided that the Canadian citizen has lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days. This change could affect millions of descendants, many of whom are exploring this opportunity amid current U.S. conditions.
