SUMMARY
This enactment is designed to remedy the situation where a person has, as a child, lost their Canadian citizenship by law because a parent of that person acquired the nationality or citizenship of a country other than Canada or renounced his or her Canadian citizenship.
This enactment makes it easier for such a person to regain their Canadian citizenship as they will no longer have to reside in Canada as a permanent resident for a year before applying for citizenship.
