Bill C-3 would extend citizenship by descent beyond the first -generation limit.

It would allow people to access citizenship beyond that limit based on a Canadian parent’s substantial connection to Canada .

Citizenship by descent commonly refers to the ability of a person to apply for and acquire citizenship to a country based on family ties.

Earlier this year , the government then announced an expanded interim measure that included a way for those impacted by the limit to be considered for a “discretionary grant of citizenship” from then immigration minister Marc Miller . Those born or adopted on or after Dec. 19, 2023 , would also receive priority consideration if their Canadian parent had a substantial connection to Canada . The interim measure was put in place as former Bill C-71 , which looked to extend citizenship to “lost Canadians ,” died on the order paper when Parliament was prorogued and a subsequent election was held..
