Services
Citizenship by descent is won or lost on evidence. Our work is to find that evidence, document it properly, and hand a complete file to the professional who is allowed to advise you and apply on your behalf.
What we do
01
We identify your Canadian ancestor, confirm where and when they were born or naturalized, and map each generation between them and you.
02
We order certified copies of the records each link depends on, from the offices that hold them.
03
Everything is organized generation by generation, with a plain-language note on what each document proves.
04
With your consent, the file goes to a licensed representative, who advises you and prepares the application.
Who does what
Under section 21.1 of the Citizenship Act, only lawyers, Quebec notaries and licensed consultants may charge for advice or representation on a citizenship application. We respect that line.

Knowing the edges of a service is part of trusting it.
You never have to hire anyone to apply. The forms and guides are free on the Government of Canada website.
Where we look
Federal collections at Library and Archives Canada, provincial and territorial vital statistics offices and archives, church archives, and the civil registries of the countries where later generations were born.
Baptisms, marriages and burials, often the only record of a birth before civil registration.
Provincial and territorial birth, marriage and death records.
Households listed with ages, birthplaces and relationships.
Crossings and arrivals that show when a family left or entered Canada.
Records of when an immigrant ancestor became a citizen.
Service files and land grants that confirm identity and place.
