FAQ's
Citizenship by descent is a legal pathway that allows individuals born outside Canada to obtain Canadian nationality through a direct family connection, even if they have never lived in Canada. For Minnesota residents, this connection typically flows through a Canadian-born parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent depending on applicable Canadian nationality legislation. Ansari Immigration Law helps Minnesota clients assess their eligibility and complete the Certificate of Citizenship application process with clear, reliable legal guidance.
Minnesota residents born before December 15, 2025, automatically qualify for Canadian citizenship by descent if they have a direct Canadian ancestor, whether a parent, grandparent, or great-grandparent, and there is no residency requirement attached to that ancestor. Minnesota residents born on or after December 15, 2025, are eligible if their Canadian parent can demonstrate at least 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada prior to their birth.
No! Both Canada and the United States fully recognise dual nationality. Minnesota residents who successfully obtain a Canadian Certificate of Citizenship can hold both a U.S. and a Canadian passport simultaneously without renouncing either nationality.
Minnesota applicants must submit their own birth certificate, their parents’ birth and marriage certificates, and comprehensive proof of the qualifying Canadian ancestor’s citizenship or Canadian birth. All documentation must form an unbroken generational chain from the Minnesota applicant back to the Canadian anchor ancestor.
The application is submitted directly to the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia, either by mail or through the IRCC online portal. Application forms are available through the official Government of Canada Citizenship Services website. Applications cannot be dropped off at a Canadian consulate within the United States, including any located near Minnesota.
Processing a Certificate of Citizenship currently takes approximately 10 months from the date of submission. A complete and well-prepared application reduces the risk of delays caused by requests for additional information. Once your Certificate of Citizenship is issued, you may then apply for a Canadian passport.
Yes! Once submitted to IRCC, Minnesota applicants can monitor their application status and estimated processing timelines through the official IRCC portal. Ansari Immigration Law also provides Minnesota clients with ongoing case updates and legal guidance throughout the review period.
