Canada The government is going to make changes in the citizenship law. If the child of a Canadian citizen is born in another country, he will also be able to get Canadian citizenship. Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller gave this information on Thursday (23 May).
Actually, the Canadian government amended the Citizenship Act in 2009. However, now the Canadian government has introduced a law for citizenship based on descent. According to the law introduced by Mark Miller, this law will apply from the first generation to the second generation on the basis of descent. This law has also been welcomed by immigrants from many countries.
Who will get Canadian citizenship?
According to a Times of India report, as per the proposed amendment, Canadians who gave birth to their children abroad after 2009 will be granted Canadian citizenship. However, this was not the case earlier, but now the Canadian government has taken this decision.
What did Immigration Minister Mark Miller say?
Canada's Immigration Minister Marc Miller said that current rules generally limit descent citizenship to the first generation, except for a few people who have a genuine connection 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 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 very high. He said that the objective of the proposed law is to ensure that Canadians having ties with Canada can get citizenship here.
