Canada Implements New Citizenship Laws for 'Lost Canadians' and Abroad-Born Children
TL;DR Summary
Canada has implemented new rules granting automatic citizenship to children born or adopted abroad to Canadian parents who have a substantial connection to the country, addressing past legal exclusions and stemming from a court ruling that deemed previous laws unconstitutional. The changes could impact around 115,000 people over five years, though some critics express concerns over potential loopholes.
