The federal government is planning an important change to how second-generation children born abroad to Canadian citizens can gain citizenship.
Since 2009, Canadian parents who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship, unless the child was born in Canada.
Mackenzie Gray explains the changes, who qualifies, and what it means for Canadian parents who had children outside the country in the past 15 years.

There have always been two types of Canadians…
1. It's beautiful here, don't let anyone come here and mess it up.
2. It's beautiful here, we should share it. ?
They are little working to destroy this Country.
do they not see the f***ing can of worms this opens up….?
He's trying to get there votes, cause he knows that us real Canadians are not voting for him. He is going to be doing anything and everything that has new immigrants involved. It's the old "I scratch your back and you will scratch yours." It's pathetic and low. Because at the end of the day, he'll give anything away just to stay in his position.
Proposed change. Good. It means it's not happening yet.
Explain the 'Canadian born outside of Canada' and whi ate living outside of Canada giving birth to who are not Canadians.
Aw, is this his sneaky little way of having those kids being sent here to live or go to school?? What part of 'we're full' is he just not getting?
Then live and contribute in Canada
Wow….canada handing out citizenship like it’s candy.
bad news for Canada. In a few years anyone born anywhere will be Canadian.
How is anyone upset by this? Shouldn't it be expected that the child of Canadian citizens can be a Canadian citizen?
More ppl who magically appear at 65 with no residence history looking for a free retirement plan.
We are facing food insecurity across Canada and now you want to bring in another 2 million people
I adore this idea! We actually don't have the homes, infrastructure, jobs or the room here unless someone is highly skilled. There is no room left!
You're trying to overrule democracy by votes of people who you're abetting and tailoring the laws two
Trudeau has made a mockery of the Canadian citizenship.
That's stupid…. should be both parents…. then they apply…
Canadians should demand the right to recall any government that doesn't work for the best interests of Canadians. If Pierre doesn't address the immigration problem Canadians need to be able to pull him and his entire party out of power and find or start our own Canadians first party.
This government is an absolute disgrace
These news people shouldn’t be proud of their work. They give half truths share incomplete stories filled with non factual evidence
No facts to verify full of ?
????? – I feel like vomiting every time I watch mainstream news.
What a joke
I am so ashamed of this country and used to be so proud. Can’t wait to leave. Good riddance…
I don't want Canada to be a post-national suburb
canada does not even feel like canada anymore. this country is in a sad state right now.
They can not win an election without "importing" voters. What does that tell you about the liberals and ndp?
Miller talks about fairness. In 2018 10,000 Micmac natives in Newfoundland had their status taken away many just because they moved away in search of work and were no longer in the community, Even a set of twin girls were separated by status. Thousands of families broken, destroyed and no one talks about it, it was not on any news network, all nicely swept under the carpet.
Canada…the third world dumping ground!
Canadians didn't vote for this. Help!
Truedope desperate for votes
Our government is compromised, the system needs replacing
What's crazy is I'm Canadian (born and bred) and cannot get healthcare as I've been outside the country since covid, now back working in Canada, paying taxes (that has never stopped) and denied healthcare coverage. However new citizens, immigrants refugees are handed all this
Need more voters eh?
I got my Canadian citizenship as the toy with my McDonalds Happy Meal.
Meanwhile lost Canadians like Elon Musk are thieving in USA. Liberal government can do nothing but lure losers to become voters
