This webinar is not about migration pathways, it’s about helping people understand and claim the citizenship that may already be theirs. You may be more Canadian than you think!
Interested in attending! I am from Michigan and my family has French Canadian roots.

I signed up for the webinar. I don’t know if I was quick enough to make the cut. When will the link be sent? I don’t want to miss it if I’m among the chosen.
Good morning Toni! I checked in with Channon and we will see what’s what. One of us will reach out to you directly.
Hey Toni! The link will go out 24 to 48 hours before the event and you are in. The link will come from canadianafest at Gmail.
The recording is up! We would love your thoughts on it!
