New 2025 Law — Limited Awareness

You Might Already
Be Canadian.

Canada just rewrote its citizenship law. If any ancestor on your tree was Canadian — parent, grandparent, or even great-great-grandparent — you may already hold citizenship.

We find the proof. We file the paperwork. You get the passport.

A Canadian passport is one of the most powerful documents on earth.

Visa-free travel to 185+ countries. Universal healthcare. The right to live and work in one of the world's safest, most prosperous nations.

And millions of people around the world are already entitled to one — they just don't know it yet.

Canada's 2025 citizenship law removed the old generational cutoffs. If your bloodline traces back to Canada — no matter how many generations ago — you may have a legal claim to citizenship right now.

Who Qualifies

If any of these sound familiar, you could be Canadian.

The new law expanded citizenship by descent far beyond parents and grandparents.

Your parent was born in Canada

Even if you were born abroad and have never visited, you likely already have citizenship by birthright.

A grandparent came from Canada

The new law explicitly extends citizenship claims through the grandparent generation — even if your parent wasn't born there.

Any ancestor in your family tree

Great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents — if the Canadian connection exists anywhere in your lineage, the new law may recognize your claim.

You live anywhere in the world

It doesn't matter where you were born or where you live now. Citizenship by descent is based on blood, not geography.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot

Canada's 2025 law removed the old generational limits on citizenship by descent. Previously, only the first generation born abroad could claim citizenship. The new law expands eligibility to people with Canadian ancestors further back in their family tree — including grandparents and beyond.

Your name, date of birth, and email. One parent's name, date of birth, and place of birth. And if you have them, your grandparents' names (grandmother and grandfather on the Canadian side). That's it — we can locate missing records from there.

We deliver your complete application package in 2–6 weeks, depending on how fast government offices respond. The initial record search and eligibility analysis takes just 24–48 hours. After you submit your application to the Canadian government, processing times vary.

The eligibility check is completely free. If we confirm you qualify, we'll walk you through pricing for the full-service package — which covers genealogical record search, document requests, government outreach, follow-ups, and your complete application package. Government document fees (birth certificates, etc.) are passed through at cost.

Full refund within 7 days, no questions asked. The eligibility check itself is completely free — you only pay if we find a viable connection and you want us to build your application package.

No. NorthClaim is a document preparation and filing assistance service. We locate records, request documents, and compile your application. We do not provide legal or immigration advice. For legal questions, consult a licensed immigration attorney.

No. The entire process is 100% remote — from document gathering to application submission. You never need to set foot in Canada until you want to use your passport.

Our Promise

You're protected at every step.
