According to immigration experts, a legal change surrounding who gets to apply for Canadian citizenship has led to a spike in American applicants.

And now, an Ottawa based immigration consultant says the demand for proof of Canadian citizenship has exploded since the bill was passed. Cassandra Fultz joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.
