Canadian Citizenship: Law and Harper Era

canadian citizenship: The law involves changes to Canadian citizenship, according to Toronto Star. One of the most glaring flaws is a measure that allows immigration officials to revoke a person's citizenship without the possibility of a hearing before an independent decision-maker. THE CANADIAN PRESS By Star Editorial Board Thu., May 11, 2017 A federal judge has just given the Trudeau government the kick in the pants it apparently needs to get on with fixing a bad law left over from the Harper era. This week Federal Court Justice Jocelyne Gagn ruled that those parts of the law violate the constitutional right to a fair hearing. Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen's department says it is considering whether to appeal. She quashed the citizenship revocations of eight people who challenged the law, and gave the federal government 60 days to fix it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
