Canadian Immigration,
Shaped by Your Facts.
Citizenship, residency, work permits, and employer support — at every stage.
You may already be Canadian by descent through a parent, grandparent, or earlier ancestor.
Could You Already Be a Canadian Citizen?
In some cases, the right next step is not to apply to become Canadian, but to determine whether you are already a Canadian citizen and apply for proof of that citizenship.
Ponderosa reviews the citizenship chain, relevant dates and available records to assess which process may be appropriate for your circumstances.
