Famous Americans May Qualify for Canadian Citizenship Under New Law

A new legislation, Bill C-3, set to take effect in January, aims to restore Canadian citizenship to many individuals worldwide, including several celebrities like Hillary Clinton, Madonna, and Viggo Mortensen, due to their Canadian ancestry. This bill eliminates the first-generation limit on citizenship, allowing descendants of Canadians to reclaim their heritage, which could lead to many being unaware of their Canadian roots. Notably, Clinton has French-Canadian ancestors, while Jolie and Madonna also share similar lineage. The bill holds significant implications for global citizens with Canadian ancestry, as highlighted by Toronto immigration lawyer Valerie Kleinman.
