Americans born to first-generation Canadian citizens can acquire citizenship in Canada by descent. The existing strengthened relationship between the U.S and Canada leads to a usual trend for the Americans applying for Canadian citizenship as they have at least one parent who is already a citizen in Canada.
Hiring a Canadian immigration lawyer will enable you to submit your application with accuracy and also attain Canadian citizenship soon.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) demand that Americans prove their biological or legal parent was already a Canadian citizen when the applicant was born.
To prove their parent’s citizenship in Canada, the applicants can provide their birth certificate, a card of Canadian citizenship, and a certificate of citizenship.
Once all the evidence of Canadian citizenship is provided for the Proof of Citizenship application, IRCC will provide you with an acknowledgment receipt.
IRCC will have the final say on approving your application and if it approves the application, you will obtain the certificate of Canadian citizenship.
In the event of your application consisting of any issues, IRCC will contact you for clarification on the matter.
The process associated with the Proof of Citizenship is transparent but the application process might involve several complexities with the increasing demand of individuals seeking Canadian citizenship. Therefore, it will be feasible for you to hire an expert immigration lawyer to have a peaceful mindset.
