"Dual citizenship" or applying for another country's citizenship... Canada is a common one for Americans.

 


I have had a number of inquiries lately about researching people's ancestry or family history to see if they have a Canadian ancestor in order to apply for Canadian citizenship. This can be done; I've been doing more of these lately. You need to have a grandparent whose ancestry can be linked (proven) to you, and the question of when they arrived in the US and when / if they applied for US naturalization, when they actually naturalized (the process can take 5-10 years) are ones that a Canadian immigration attorney can consult on, once the genealogy/ ancestry link to you is proven. I can research and write those reports for an immigration attorney. Just email me at gretchencdn@gmail.com to get started!
