O Canada: Becoming a Canuck Easier than Ever
Did you know that it's easier than ever to become a Canadian citizen by descent? WaPo has the deets:
Before the revised law went into effect on Dec. 15, the country limited Canadian citizenship to the first-generation children of a Canadian parent. Now, all generations who were born outside of Canada and have direct Canadian ancestry can become Canadian citizens, as long as they possess the correct documents and fall within the correct legal provisions.
I'm positively green with envy. I don't have a single qualifying relative.
I do, however, have it on good authority that at least one immprof has qualified under the new law. If you're in attendance at the Duke conference in June, we can play a hearty game of "Guess the Canuck"!
