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In order to obtain proof of Canadian citizenship, you would need to document your line of descent through historical documents and birth records.

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!
Yeah, I think you qualify. You can read more here on the CanadianCitizenship subreddit about the process. Lots of people are gathering documents and submitting for proof of citizenship. It’s a good place to ask questions.

The edge cases I’ve heard where you wouldn’t qualify were based on an ancestor renouncing their Canadian citizenship on the record when becoming a citizen elsewhere.
