experience, your daughter does not qualify. Our son (born in U.S.) gained Canadian citizenship because his father was born in Canada. If our son has children, they will only be eligible for Canadian citizenship if they are born in Canada. On the other hand, they will be eligible for U.S. citizenship because their dad (our son) was born in the US and both his parents were US citizens (stating just because of the current Orange policy projections).

Please do check my math. I hope I’m wrong.
