Millions of Americans Can Now Become Canadian and Applications Are Rising

Applications from Americans seeking a Canadian passport have risen since the country introduced a major change to its citizenship-by-descent rules late last year, according to an Ottawa-based immigration consultant.

Cassandra Fultz, the founder and director of Doherty Fultz Immigration Inc. who immigrated from the U.S. to Canada in 2008, told CTV News earlier this week that demand for proof of Canadian citizenship "has exploded" since the country passed Bill C-3 in December.
