ACGS is thrilled to welcome Michael J. Leclerc
as the presenter for our Winter 2027 Webinar.
His presentation, Canadian Citizenship by Descent, will explore the complexities and opportunities surrounding citizenship claims through family ancestry.
On 15 December 2025 new laws took effect governing Citizenship by Descent in Canada. Many Americans are taking advantage of their new-found eligibility for dual citizenship. But the process can be confusing, especially for those of Québecois descent. No matter what province your ancestors came from, you can discover the best way to get the proper documentation, organize it for your application, and how the process works after that.
Join us on January 16, 2027, at 4 pm (ET)
