Recently, Canada's Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen, stated that Bill C-6, which reforms Canadian citizenship and immigration policy, has entered the final review process. This bill would allow permanent residents under the age of 18 to apply for citizenship independently, without being required to apply alongside their parents. If the law is amended, minors will be able to apply for citizenship on their own.
If the proposal is passed, it will have a significant impact on some young people in Canada, including asylum seekers, children neglected by their parents, and minors who do not wish to return to countries that do not allow dual citizenship, such as China or India, with their parents.
Furthermore, this is also great news for "astronaut families" who are concerned that parents may have poor English skills and be unable to pass the citizenship test, or for families where parents need to frequently fly back to China.
It is reported that senators are currently reviewing the federal Citizenship Act, Bill C-6. Since taking office, the Liberal Party has been working to revert certain changes made by the Conservative Party back to previous regulations. For example, the current requirement of living in Canada for four out of six years to be eligible for citizenship would be relaxed to three out of four years, and the age range for the citizenship test would be changed back from 14–64 to 18–54.
