The law allows people living in other countries who can trace their lineage from Canadian ancestors to qualify for Canadian citizenship even if their Canadian ancestor left Canada several generations back.
Prior to Bill C-3, Canadian citizenship by descent was limited to the first generation born or adopted outside Canada to a Canadian citizen. However, that limitation was struck down by the courts as unconstitutional.
If my wife happens to fall into this category, am I also a citizen by marriage? Just in case this becomes extremely important on th next couple years.
You could apply for permanent residency, then apply for citizenship. Being married too a Canadian Citizen gives you bonus points to qualify for your residency
