@rival_elf I believe there’s one more caveat; your ancestor has to have already been a Canadian citizen at the time their child (who you descend from) was born. For example, if your grandparent moved to Canada and became a citizen after your parent was born, then your parent would not become a citizen and it won’t pass down through you.

@cykonot@mas.to @QasimRashid@mastodon.social On top of that, Lebanon actually *is* a democracy, so the whole “only democracy in the middle east” bit has always just been propaganda b.s.

@rival_elf I didn’t get that from the page; I got it from reading through the citizenship laws that I could find online. Here’s the best source I could find: https://lop.parl.ca/staticfiles/PublicWebsite/Home/ResearchPublications/LegislativeSummaries/PDF/45-1/PV_45-1-C3-E.pdf From that doc: “Clause 1(8) of the bill amends section 3(3) of the Act to confer citizenship by descent to persons born abroad after the first generation provided that, prior to that person’s birth, their parent was a Canadian citizen who had a substantial connection to Canada, as explained below”

@cczona I wasn’t talking about someone who’s Canadian gaining a different nationality; I was talking about someone who become Canadian *after* their child was born. In that case the Canadian citizenship isn’t inherited.
