Informational estimate only

This self-assessment estimates Canadian citizenship by descent under Bill C-3 for informational purposes only. It is not legal advice and is not an IRCC determination.

Complex, fact-specific rules

Citizenship by descent involves complex, fact-specific rules and exceptions this tool cannot fully capture — including dates of birth, the law in force at the time, and the substantial-connection test. A "may qualify" result is a starting point, not a confirmation.

Bill C-3 is evolving

Bill C-3's provisions and implementation timelines are changing. Always verify the current state of the law and IRCC's guidance before acting.

Consult a professional

For advice on your specific situation, consult IRCC directly or a licensed Canadian citizenship lawyer. Do not rely solely on this tool for important decisions.
