A new Canadian citizenship law вÑтупил в Ñилу Ð°Ð¿Ñ€ÐµÐ»Ñ 17, 2009 что может grant Canadian citizenship to thousands of people, многие из которых ÑвлÑÑŽÑ‚ÑÑ Ð°Ð¼ÐµÑ€Ð¸ÐºÐ°Ð½Ñ†Ð°Ð¼Ð¸.
To promote this new law, Citizenship and Immigration Canada has released a YouTube video, “ПроÑнувшиÑÑŒ канадца.” Corny, да, but the law is a serious change.
According to the government’s преÑÑ-релиз announcing the new law:
The changes implemented today mean that certain people who became Canadian citizens on or after January 1, 1947, when the first citizenship act took effect, and who then lost citizenship, will have their status restored back to the date they lost it. Some may have lost it when they left the country. Другие, born outside Canada, may have ceased to be Canadian by not taking steps to retain their citizenship.
The changes will also grant citizenship to those who have never been Canadian, but who are part of the first generation born outside Canada on or after January 1, 1947, to a Canadian parent. Their citizenship will be retroactive to their date of birth.
