Fun fact
She filmed Suits in Toronto — the same show that launched Meghan Markle's Canadian connection. Accidental Canadian adjacency.
The verdict
Katherine Heigl filmed Suits in Toronto and has done other productions in Canada. No citizenship, no parents, wasn't raised there, doesn't live there — but she did benefit from the Canadian film tax credit. Half a point for showing up, eh.
