Please read the news release from citizenship and immigration about the new changes for the citizenship act. Bill C-24, was passed last night by the Canadian government.
Please keep in mind, while the law has passed, we still have very few details about how and when the law will be implemented.
The biggest changes to the Citizenship Act are the following:
- Applicants who must meet knowledge and language requirements has changed to 14-64 years of age.
- Applicants must be physically present in Canada for 4 out of their last 6 years, and physically present for 183 days per year for at least 4 of those 6 years .
- Applicants will not be allowed to count time spent in Canada as a non-permanent resident. You can apply 4 years from the date you received Permanent Residence. This time will continue to be prolonged for people who travel outside of Canada in the four year period.
- Applicants must have the intention to reside in Canada. This new provision applies only to naturalized citizens. The previous law did not have this provision.
- The Minister is given new powers to strip citizenship from dual citizens, and brings in new grounds for revocation.
