Residency Requirements and Chris Alexander

citizenship commission: They say the nine people seeking citizenship did not meet the residency requirements, according to CBC. The cases involve Judge Ann Janega, who was appointed to the federal citizenship commission in December 2013 by Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. Government lawyers want the judge decisions overturned and are urging the Federal Court to allow judicial reviews of the cases. The first case heard Wednesday involves a Nigerian airline pilot who settled with his family on Prince Edward Island in 2007 and applied for citizenship. He needed to have spent three of the last four years in Canada, according to court documents. But when Akintomiya Oladapo Ojo made the application in 2013, he fell short of residency requirements.
