 🍁A Truly Inclusive Approach to Canadian Citizenship ⚖️ The federal government is proposing landmark legislation that will extend citizenship by descent in a more inclusive way, upholding the immense value of Canadian citizenship. 👨👩👧👦 If passed, the bill would grant automatic citizenship to anyone born outside Canada to a Canadian parent. No longer will citizenship be limited only to the first generation born abroad. 👩👦 Important amendments have been introduced to address concerns raised in parliamentary committees and courts. These will restore citizenship to the "Lost Canadians" - those who were unable to become citizens or lost their status due to outdated, discriminatory laws.  ☀️ For more such updates, give us a follow! #InclusiveCitizenship #LostCanadians #CitizenshipByDescent #EqualCitizenship #CanadianCitizenship

On January 22, 2024, the Honourable Marc Miller, Minister of IRCC announced that the federal government will not be challenging a decision made by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice rendering the “first generation limit” provisions in the Citizenship Act unconstitutional. What does this mean? The “first generation limit” provided that children born abroad to Canadian citizens beyond the first generation generally do not acquire Canadian citizenship automatically at birth. This meant that children born abroad to Canadian parents—who themselves were born abroad—were not automatically considered Canadian citizens. https://lnkd.in/gnxgy5ju #canadiancitizenship #immigrationcanada #immigrationlawyer #immigrationservices #immigrationlawyerToronto #MatthewJeffery

While the United States accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world, many foreign nationals still have no feasible path to citizenship. When all standard immigration pathways fail, one last (and rarely successful) option exists to gain citizenship – a private bill. Attorney Hallie Cohen explains this last resort option for citizenship. https://lnkd.in/eV-eA3mx #immigrationlaw #privatebills #immigration #citizenship #immigrationlawfirm #immigrationlawyer #grossmanyoung

On May 23, the Honourable Marc Miller announced Bill C-71, which would extend Canadian citizenship by descent beyond the first generation! Under the proposed Bill C-71, citizenship would be: ✅ Automatically granted to people born abroad to a Canadian parent who was also born abroad ✅ Extended to adopted children born outside Canada to Canadian parents born abroad beyond the first generation ✅ Restored to "Lost Canadians" and their descendants who lost or never acquired citizenship as a result of outdated provisions of previous citizenship legislation The aim is to be more inclusive and protect the value of Canadian citizenship for families with deep ties to Canada. Key requirements like meeting a physical presence period in Canada would still apply after the changes. If the bill passes in Parliament and receives royal assent, IRCC will release more information for eligible individuals in future releases.
