A lot of people have questions about new rules around citizenship by descent, or who can apply for Canadian citizenship through their parents and grandparents.

Join lawyer Joycna Kang (she/her) from Battista Migration Law Group to understand the basics of this new pathway to immigration.

A great way to get questions answered, figure out if this is a path for you, or to learn about it for friends.

We’ll cover:

  • The Citizenship Act, with a special focus on recent changes to obtaining citizenship through parents and grandparents
  • Details about who can apply and what the new rules mean
  • Impacts on current and future applications, and more.
