please tell me which documents i need exactly

Hi everyone!

I'm really struggling to get these documents together. For context, im 21, i was born and raised in Canada, both of my parents were also born and raised in Canada. My grandparents however, on both sides, were born and raised in Italy. I have one grandparent (dads mom) who still have her PR and never naturalized. I was thinking of getting my citizenship through her.

PLEASE someone help me finalize which documents are needed. I keep getting different answers.

I know i need:

  1. Nonna's birth certificate
  2. Marriage certificate
  3. Italian expired passport helps
  4. PR card for proof of no naturalization
  5. My birth certificate
  6. Divorce certificate (her and my nonno got divorced)

Do i need

  1. Both of my parents birth certificates?
  2. Both of my grandparents (my nonno and my nonno)'s birth certificates?
  3. My nonno's death certificate since he passed?
  4. Grandfathers ID? (when he passed away, they lost his wallet with all of his ID...really hoping I don't need more than just his birth certificate...im hoping i dont need his at all actually)

I'm just not exactly sure what is needed.

I know this will take years...but i REALLLLLLY want this citizenship. I need to get these documents in order and i just dont know exactly what im looking for.

im stressed. please help. someone who has done this before. please. thank you
