In order to obtain proof of Canadian citizenship, you would need to document your line of descent through historical documents and birth records.

Two of my great, great grandparents (my grandfather’s grandparents) were born in Canada. Reading through the law, I’m having trouble identifying exactly where this makes me eligible. Can I ask for a bit of help pointed in the right direction?
I have my birth certificate linking me to my father, his birth certificate linking him to my grandfather. Then US census records linking my grandfather to my great grandmother, and US census records linking her to her (Canadian born) parents. I guess I need to find proof of their Canadian births…
Go read the FAQ on this… you are probably reading some old info. The law changed due to the old law being ruled unconstitutional. You are most likely eligible based on what you’ve stated.

What I would do is pay a lawyer in Canada to get their birth certificates.
