Marc Miller Introduces Bill to Extend Citizenship to Children Born Abroad with Three-Year Residency Requirement
May 23, 2024, 03:12 PM
Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced a bill on Thursday that extends Canadian citizenship to children born abroad. The legislation, introduced by the Liberal government, grants automatic citizenship to descendants of Canadians who have spent at least three years living in Canada. This move aims to restore the rights of 'lost Canadians,' individuals who previously faced citizenship issues due to their birth outside of the country. Miller explained that the three-year residency requirement is a reasonable threshold for establishing a substantial connection to Canada.
