From what I understand, they're actually pretty strict about citizenship in the US and Canada. In the US at least, the common way is through childbirth, marriage, serving in the military, or having residency for 5 years. While that seems simple, there are so many processes and costs involved that it's usually quite challenging for people to get citizenship.
