Canada follows the principle of jus soli (right of the soil), which means that any child born on Canadian territory automatically receives Canadian citizenship. This right applies regardless of the parents’ citizenship or immigration status.
While giving birth in Canada does not grant the parents automatic citizenship or residency rights, Canadian citizens aged 18 or older can sponsor their parents through the Family Reunification Program to obtain permanent residency in Canada.
A Canadian passport provides visa-free access to 170 countries, including the USA, the UK, EU countries, and Australia. This greatly simplifies international travel and expands business opportunities.
Canadian citizens are entitled to free public secondary education and benefit from preferential admission to prestigious Canadian universities known for their academic excellence.
Canada offers a universal healthcare system, providing free medical services to all citizens. Social support programs and financial assistance are also available to citizens and permanent residents.
Canada allows multiple citizenships, meaning you can keep your original passport. This offers more flexibility for living and working abroad.
Canadian citizens can work in any field, including the public sector, without the need for work permits. This ensures freedom of career choice and professional development.
Canadian citizenship, along with all its rights and privileges, can be passed down to future generations—even to the second generation born outside of Canada.

The birth of a child in Canada does not grant permanent residence to parents or other relatives. Upon reaching the age of majority (18 years), the child can sponsor their parents through the Family Sponsorship program. Only Canadian citizens can apply to sponsor their parents or grandparents for permanent resident status. Siblings of the newborn do not have the right to family reunification.
Canada has both public and private healthcare systems. Private clinics are recommended for foreigners.
The Canadian passport ranks 8th globally for travel freedom. It provides visa-free access to 170 countries. Canadian passport holders can visit the USA visa-free for up to 180 days, all Schengen countries for 90 days, the UK, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. For entry into the USA from Canada, citizens can use the NEXUS Pass — a card that facilitates expedited border crossing.
The Canadian passport does not grant special privileges for expedited citizenship in other countries. Naturalization in European countries follows standard procedures, typically requiring 5–10 years of residency regardless of original citizenship. However, Canadian passport holders benefit from visa-free entry into EU countries for work or study purposes, which can serve as a foundation for later naturalization.
