If passed, Bill C-71 would automatically give Canadian citizenship to people born abroad to a Canadian citizen parent who was also born outside Canada . Children born outside of Canada and adopted by parents who hold Canadian citizenship and were born abroad would also be eligible.
The proposed legislation would also restore citizenship to “Lost Canadians,” the term for people who lost or never acquired citizenship because of outdated previous citizenship legislation. C-71 would also extend citizenship to the descendants of those “Lost Canadians” and to anyone born abroad to a Canadian parent before the legislation comes into force.
