The new bill would reverse the change, which was ruled unconstitutional by the courts, and extend citizenship by descent to first-generation children born outside Canada. The bill would automatically grant citizenship to children born since 2009 who were affected by the Conservatives’ changes. Under the new rules, parents born outside Canada would need to have resided in Canada for at least three years before the birth or adoption of a child in order for their child to be granted Canadian citizenship.
