The Canadian government has introduced Bill C-3 to address citizenship issues related to the 2009 “First-Generation Limit” (FGL), which previously denied or revoked citizenship for many born abroad or with foreign-born children. The bill proposes automatic reinstatement of citizenship for those affected and allows Canadian parents born outside Canada to pass citizenship to children born or adopted abroad, provided the parent has lived in Canada for at least three years before the child’s birth, according to Firstpost.

This act is intended to benefit thousands of immigrant groups, particularly those of Indian origin. It is currently under parliamentary review and must pass all readings and gain royal assent before becoming law. The Ontario Superior Court has also ordered the government to change the current guidelines by November 20, warning that failing to do so may result in the FGL provisions being overturned or curtailed.

Meanwhile, the Trump administration has tightened immigration regulations, including issuing an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to parents on temporary visas, complicating immigration for many people, including Indian nationals, Firstpost reported.
