The US State Department has reduced the cost of renouncing citizenship to $450. It had been $2,350.

Meanwhile in Canada - Bill C-3 has been in effect since December. Sometimes called the β€˜Lost Canadians Act’, if an individual can prove their parents or grandparents or great grandparents - really, there is no limitation how far back if you can show proof - were from Canada, you can gain citizenship.

Just sayin’.

This is the first article I've seen on the #LostCanadians that gets it right. A lot of people in New England are eligible for Canadian citizenship now.

Just this morning a #trans family got their approval and are very happy about that.

I understand this isn't for everyone, but if you need this--might consider it.

Change to citizenship rules in 2025 - Canada.ca

Bill C-3 changes the first-generation limit for Canadian citizenship by descent. Find out who is affected and how the law impacts citizenship eligibility.

Canada’s *Lost Canadians* amendments to its Citizenship Act came into force on Monday, December 15, 2025.

What this means is that if you have at least one Canadian ancestor β€” born in Canada or by naturalization β€” you probably are now a Canadian citizen.

This includes ancestors who were were British subjects domiciled in Canada for periods prior to 1947.

This recent podcast has the two Canadian citizenship expert lawyers who literally wrote the book on citizenship by descent, one of who provided expert testimony at the Senate hearings on the legislative amendments in C-3 and contributing the briefs from the Canadian Bar Association.

They note that their research shows that many Americans, especially in the North East, likely qualify. While it’s necessary to establish the line of descent to obtain a certificate of citizenship, it’s also necessary to renounce formally citizenship *to Canadian authorities* to avoid it.

New Canadian citizens as a result of these amendments include numerous well known Americans, including Hilary Clinton and Tucker Carlson.

It’s noted that Carlson vehemently opposes dual citizenship.
