Read moreImagine being born to Canadian parents, yet feeling disconnected from your heritage. It’s a reality for many children born outside Canada. But here’s the exciting part: recent developments could change everything!
On November 3, a crucial vote in the House of Commons removed amendments from Bill C-3, paving the way for expanded citizenship rights. This bill is a game-changer for children of Canadians born abroad, allowing them to inherit citizenship more easily.
- What’s new? The amendments would have placed several restrictive conditions on children applying for citizenship, which are no longer on the table.
- Here’s the gist: children born outside Canada can now inherit Canadian citizenship so long as their Canadian parent has maintained a substantial connection to the country - that's a minimum of 1,095 days.
- But wait, there’s more: all Lost Canadians affected by previous laws could see their citizenship restored.
With only a few steps left for Bill C-3 to become law, including a third reading in the House and a Senate approval, this is a moment of hope!
For those affected by the current rules, don’t wait! You can apply for citizenship now under interim measures. It’s a busy time, but it’s also a time for dreaming big about your future in Canada.
