Immigration Department Dept: The decision to revoke citizenship is rare, and a large-scale crackdown such as this one appears to be unprecedented. Fewer than 70 citizenships have ever been revoked since the Citizenship Act was passed in 1947, according to CBC. Most of the 1,800 individuals are believed to be living outside Canada, Kenney told reporters on Wednesday in Toronto and ottawa intends to revoke the citizenship of 1,800 people it believes obtained their status through fraudulent means, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says. The people were identified through investigations conducted across the country by police and the Citizenship and Immigration Department. People identified by the investigations will receive letters informing them of the government's decision. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the move to revoke the citizenship of 1,800 people shows Canadian citizenship is 'not for sale.' Canadian Press As reported in the news.
