FAQ's
Citizenship by descent is a legal pathway that allows individuals born outside Canada to claim Canadian nationality through a qualifying family connection, even if they have never lived in Canada. For New York residents, this typically flows through a Canadian-born parent or, under certain legislative provisions, a Canadian-born grandparent. Ansari Immigration Law helps New York clients assess their eligibility and navigate the full application process with clear, personalised legal guidance.
New York applicants complete the Proof of Citizenship application (CIT 0001) through IRCC and submit it by mail or online directly to the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Applications are not accepted by drop-off at the Consulate General of Canada in New York. You must include the required $75 CAD processing fee paid online, along with your full supporting documentation.
If both you and your Canadian parent were born outside Canada, Canadian law requires your parent to demonstrate at least 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada prior to your birth in order to pass citizenship to you. This rule applies to second-generation applicants regardless of when you were born. Ansari Immigration Law helps New York residents evaluate whether their parent’s Canadian history satisfies this requirement.
No. Both Canada and the United States fully recognise dual nationality. New York residents who successfully claim Canadian citizenship by descent may hold both a U.S. and a Canadian passport at the same time without renouncing either citizenship.
New York applicants must submit a birth certificate naming both parents, the Canadian parent’s proof of citizenship such as a Canadian birth certificate or citizenship certificate, valid government-issued identification, two identical professionally taken passport photos, and certified translations of any documents not in English or French.
Processing times generally range from a few months to approximately one year, depending on IRCC workload and the completeness of your submission. Well-prepared applications with thorough documentation tend to progress more efficiently. Current estimated timelines can be verified through the IRCC Processing Times Calculator on the Government of Canada website.
Yes! Once your Proof of Citizenship application has been submitted by mail or online to the Case Processing Centre, you can monitor estimated processing times through the official IRCC portal. Ansari Immigration Law also keeps New York clients updated on the status of their cases throughout the review period.
