A significant increase in applications for Canadian citizenship has emerged among Americans with Canadian ancestry, particularly following recent political developments. Immigration consultants and lawyers report a surge in inquiries from “Lost Canadians” – individuals born abroad to foreign-born Canadians – seeking to restore their family’s Canadian citizenship. The trend is notably driven by concerns over civil rights, with LGBTQ+ community members among those actively pursuing relocation options. A recent policy shift by former Immigration Minister Marc Miller has made it easier for eligible individuals to reclaim their Canadian citizenship through discretionary measures.
