Are you Canadian? Chances are you could be with new law changes in Canadian citizenship

Most of us don’t think too hard about where our grandparents came from, but for millions of Americans and tens of thousands of Michiganders, that family history could be worth a second passport. Last December, a major update to Canada’s citizenship law went into effect. A new bill tears down a wall that blocked citizenship from passing down through multiple generations. If your grandparents were born in Canada, you could already be a Canadian citizen and not even know it. And this is not some loophole. This is a retroactive legal correction. Canada’s courts agreed that the old rules were unconstitutional. This new law fixes that. If you qualify, you are already a citizen -- you just need to apply for proof.  Drew Porter with Porter Migration Law, a firm based in Ontario that’s also licensed here in Michigan, focusing exclusively on U.S. and Canadian citizenship and immigration law, joined Local 4 Live to help break down the law and explain who qualifies.
