Might want to look up your family tree. If you're related to any Canadian, at any point (think great great great grandparents), you can get a passport.
I actually did this, milked the shit out of a free ancenstry.com membership, before they charged me.
Long story short:
Traced my lineage back to the American Revolutionary War? ๐บ๐ฒ โ
Found out that I am apparently technically, literally an Italian by their blood right heritage laws, and the timing of when my ancestors had children vs got naturalized? ๐ฎ๐น โ
(Do I speak any Italian? โ)
Do I have any Canadian heritage? ๐จ๐ฆ โโโ
Nope. Literally none, back to ~1700 - 1800, through anyone.
So... maybe learning Italian is my future, idfk.
EDIT:
lol, welp:

tl;dr nevermind , Italy can apparently just amend its law via the judiciary, at any time, so... I am not Italian.
perfetto, angry hand gestures
