It's literally as far back as possible, as long as you can prove the chain of descent through birth certificates and marriage records and so on.

The bill is C-3, since apparently the article didn't mention it.

  • There's a caveat that will apply in the future, but is completely meaningless right now, in that people born after some day in December 2025 need to have a "meaningful connection" to Canada or something, so like living in Canada for a certain amount of time. But for nearly everyone currently alive there's no restrictions other than having a Canadian ancestor at some point in your direct line.
