Canadian Citizenship Law Challenged
A number of Americans are applying for Canadian citizenship. This trend suggests individuals are seeking to live in a country where they feel they can be themselves if they cannot do so in their home country. The reasons for this migration are linked to concerns about personal freedoms and rights. A new Canadian law has removed the one-generation limit on citizenship based on descent. This change may allow individuals with Canadian ancestors, even several generations back, to claim Canadian citizenship if they can prove it. In Maine, this has led to increased interest among those seeking a potential exit strategy from the U.S. Canada's citizenship law is being challenged after the implementation of a one-generation limit. This limit may cause newly minted Canadians to move north if they cannot do so in their home country.
