New Canadian law eases citizenship for children born abroad

What happened: Bill C-3, now law since November, simplifies citizenship for children born or adopted outside Canada by Canadian parents.

Why it matters:

  • It helps children of Canadian citizens born abroad to obtain citizenship more easily.
  • This affects Canadian families living overseas or with international adoptions.

MNN Take: The law addresses previous citizenship barriers, streamlining the process for eligible children to become Canadian citizens.
