Canadian Citizenship and Dual Citizenship

dual citizenship: Under the Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act, they say, no one is safe from having their citizenship revoked, even those who were born in Canada if they have the right to dual citizenship in another country because of their immigrant ancestry, according to The Star. The bill buys into and promotes a xenophobic and false narrative about true Canadians and others, a narrative that equates foreignness with suspicions and Canadian and international rights groups are poised to launch a legal challenge against Ottawas proposed citizenship law, saying it would create two classes of citizens and violate the Charters mobility rights. The new provisions for revocation of citizenship in Bill C-24 violate Canadas international human rights obligations. They are divisive, discriminatory, retrograde and profoundly unfair, Amnesty International Canada secretary general Alex Neve told a teleconference Thursday. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
