Episode Details

Canada’s new citizenship law, Bill C-3, is rewriting family history—letting descendants of Canadian emigrants apply for citizenship, even if they were born abroad. A million Canadians fled to the U.S. in the 1800s and early 1900s, especially from Quebec, and now their descendants are racing to reclaim their roots. People like Geoff and Davin, raised in Michigan with Canadian great-grandparents, are gathering old documents to prove their ties, dreaming of moving to Victoria. Katherine from Texas, aiming to launch an eco-tourism business on Canada’s north island, is inspiring others to follow. Immigration lawyers are flooded with requests, setting up booths to help navigate the complex process. Legal experts say these applicants are already Canadian at heart—this law simply formalizes their belonging, honoring Canada’s immigrant soul.
