Canada Citizenship Law: The Government of Canada is going to make changes in the citizenship law. If a child of a Canadian citizen is born in another country, he or she will also be able to get Canadian citizenship. Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller gave this information on Thursday (23 May).
Actually, the Government of Canada had amended the Citizenship Act in 2009. However, now the Canadian government has introduced a law for citizenship on the basis of descent. According to the law introduced by Mark Miller, this law will extend from the first generation to the second generation on the basis of lineage. This law has also been welcomed by immigrants from many countries.
Who will get Canadian citizenship?
According to the Times of India report, according to the proposed amendment, Canadians who have given birth to their children abroad after 2009 will be given Canadian citizenship. Although, this was not the case earlier, but now the Government of Canada has taken this decision.
What did Immigration Minister Mark Miller say?
Canadian Immigration Minister Mark Miller said current rules generally limit descent citizenship to the first generation. Except for a few people who have real ties to Canada. This has an unacceptable impact on families and impacts life choices. These changes are intended to be inclusive and protect the value of Canadian citizenship, as we are committed to making the citizenship process as fair and transparent as possible.
Indians will benefit
According to Ken Nickel-Lane, founder of the immigration services firm, the amendment in this law will affect the non-resident Indians the most, because the number of non-resident Indians in Canada is high. He said that the purpose of the proposed law is to ensure that Canadians who have ties with Canada can get citizenship here.
