Bill Detail

This bill makes significant changes to how Canadian citizenship is passed down by descent and how it can be restored. It ensures that people born outside Canada to a Canadian parent, regardless of how many generations removed that parent is, can get citizenship. It also allows citizenship for adopted children of Canadian parents and restores citizenship for those who previously lost it under specific circumstances. This primarily affects individuals born outside Canada whose connection to Canada is through a parent or grandparent, and those who lost or were denied citizenship in the past due to technicalities.
