Canada’s new Bill C-3 could be a game-changer for Indian-origin families living outside the country. If passed, it will allow Canadian parents, especially those born abroad to pass on their citizenship to children born or adopted outside Canada. This was previously restricted due to the "first-generation limit," leaving many families in limbo.
With Bill C-3, that changes. If at least one parent has lived in Canada for a total of three years (1,095 days), their child could qualify for citizenship, even if born overseas. This is great news for global Indians who want their children to stay connected to Canada. It also helps families who were denied citizenship in the past, giving them a chance to reclaim their Canadian identity.
The bill still needs to clear Parliament, but if approved, it could simplify the citizenship journey for many families around the world.
