Canadian: Canadian Citizen and Citizenship Application

canadian: However, Roy would have likely become a Canadian citizen a long time ago if the Immigration Department had not lost his citizenship application file, according to Toronto Star. Canadian diplomatic missions offer emergency assistance to citizens if they run into such problems as being abducted or arrested and detained. The family of 53-year-old Aniruddha Kumar Roy said so far they have received little assistance from Canadian authorities because he is a permanent resident, not a citizen. The same level of help is not afforded to permanent residents who hold citizenship of a different country. It is really heartbreaking that the Canadian government can't intervene or were not able to get any update from the Bangladesh government, said Roy's younger brother Achintya in an interview. In Roy's case, he is a Bangladeshi citizen. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
