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? 🇺🇲 ✅

    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? 🇮🇹 ✅

    (Do I speak any Italian? ❌)

    Do I have any Canadian heritage? 🇨🇦 ❌❌❌

    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
