That includes great, great grandparents.
In order to obtain proof of Canadian citizenship, you would need to document your line of descent through historical documents and birth records.

When I read about this a few weeks ago, there was a requirement that my GM needed to have lived in Canada for 1,095 days to show a cultural connection. Is this no longer a requirement?
That only applies to people born after December 15, 2025, which is when the new law came into effect
No kidding?? That’s huge news! Honestly, thank you so much for letting me know!
How familiar are you with the process? Can I ask you if my line qualifies? If so, this is what it looks like: Me -> F -> GM -> GGM. My GGM was born in Canada, GM born in the states in 1935, GGM naturalized in 1942.
I’m very familiar with the Italian citizenship by descent process, so I know the edge cases around that, but not for Canada. Are there any hidden exceptions that would disqualify someone with my line? They happen a lot for Italy.
Honestly, I’m so glad you made this post! If this works, I’ll need to thank you from the bottom of my heart!
