According to a report by the Canadian newspaper Ming Pao, the Canadian federal government recently stated in its Speech from the Throne that it will reform the Citizenship Act to protect the inherent value of Canadian citizenship. It noted that the scope of these reforms will be the most extensive in over 30 years. Experts predict that the Ministry of Immigration may revive the draft amendments to the Citizenship Act that were completed before the 2010 general election. Significant changes include regulating citizenship consultants, increasing fines for citizenship fraud to $100,000, and clearly defining the requirement of residing in Canada for at least three years to be eligible for citizenship.
The Speech from the Throne mentioned that "Canadians understand that citizenship should not just be a passport that is easily obtained," and added that "citizenship is a pledge of mutual responsibility, a shared commitment to values that are rooted in our history." Regarding the reform of the federal investment immigration program, the report stated, "We will reform the program so that immigrant investors make a meaningful contribution before being granted Canadian citizenship."Investment involves risks, the above information is for reference only
