Canada is celebrating Citizenship Week.
May 23 to May 29 is Citizenship Week in Canada where we celebrate what it means to be Canadian from the rights and freedoms we enjoy, to the responsibilities we share, and the diversity that makes us strong. For those of you who had at least one Canadian parent, you might be a citizen even if you were born abroad.
Canada allows biological and legal parents to pass citizenship to their children who were born outside of the country, provided at the time of the child’s birth the parents were first-generation Canadians. Once Canadian citizenship has been passed down, it cannot be passed down again. So if you were born abroad to Canadian parents, your children will not automatically get Canadian citizenship if they were born abroad as well.
If this describes one of your parents, you may already be Canadian. In order to prove it, you need to get a proof of citizenship, which is also called a citizenship certificate.
