Canada is going to make important changes in its citizenship law. Recently, a new citizenship law bill was introduced in the Parliament by Canadian Immigration Minister Lena Metlej Diab. It is known as C-3.
It is being told that this bill removes the existing limit on citizenship based on descent. It was introduced in the Canadian Parliament on Thursday. An attempt has been made in the new bill to correct the mistakes that are in the earlier law. Canada’s current citizenship law states that any Canadian citizen born outside Canada will not be able to pass on his citizenship to his child born abroad. In fact, this law was introduced in Parliament in the year 2009.
In fact, this law was introduced in Parliament in the year 2009. This law states that citizenship by descent was limited only to the first generation born in Canada. A new law has been introduced in Canada to correct this mistake. The new law states that parents must demonstrate a sufficient connection to Canada. This will require at least three years of physical presence in the country before the child is born or adopted.
According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), most Canadians who are citizens by descent are citizens due to the first-generation limit on citizenship by descent for people born outside of Canada. They cannot give citizenship to their child born or adopted outside the country. People are facing a lot of problems due to this law of Canada.
