Immigrate to Canada Stay updated on the latest news from Canada: Last Thursday, Canadian Immigration Minister John McCallum officially submitted amendments to the C-24 bill to the House of Commons, which includes several significant changes, particularly relaxing the requirements for citizenship. Below, I have summarized the key points for our immigrant friends.
1. Relaxation of residency requirements: Three years of residency within five years to become a citizen
Currently, applicants must reside in Canada for 4 years within 6 years before applying for citizenship. The amended bill will reduce this requirement to 3 years of residency within 5 years. Additionally, during the 5 year waiting period for citizenship application, applicants only need to report 3 years of income to the Canada Revenue Agency, reducing the previous requirement by 1 year.
2. The Canadian government cannot revoke a citizen's Canadian nationality
The C-24 bill stipulates that individuals with dual nationality can have their Canadian citizenship revoked by the government if they are convicted of terrorism, espionage, or treason. The latest amendment changes this to state that the only reason the government can revoke citizenship is if the applicant committed fraud during the citizenship application process.
3. Reduction of language testing barriers, modification of the upper age limit for language testing
Previously, the C-24 bill required applicants aged 14 to 64 to pass an English or French language test before applying for citizenship. The amended bill changes the age range to 18 to 54. Additionally, the previous citizenship law required applicants to intend to reside in Canada after obtaining citizenship, which has been removed in the amended citizenship law.
