hi guys,

I would like to get some thoughts and insights on the following new law..

For all naturalized citizens, a federal government official can revoke your citizenship if he believes you never intended to live in Canada. This could happen if you decide to study in, accept a job in, or reside in another country. In contrast, Canadian citizens born in Canada cannot lose their citizenship by living outside of Canada.

so according to the above, even If i reside outside canada for 1-2 years, am I in jeopardy of loosing citizenship?
does this rule apply to new citizen or any naturalized citizen??

There is no such law.
