Canadian citizenship for Children of Immigrants- What is the new law about Canadian citizenship all about?
According to a new proposed legislation given by Senator Victor Ho, Canada will allow minors to apply for citizenship here but there won’t be any compulsory intervention of the parents. This is already been followed by countries like Norway and Denmark that is presently being taken up by Canada as well. This law, however, will be applicable in case of certain specific circumstances such as if the children below the age of 18 years are:
Asylum hunters.
Separated from their parents.
Having criminal background.
Unwilling to go back to the home countries like India and China, where dual citizenship is not possible.
