Explained: Canada Approves Major Citizenship Law Overhaul: Relief for Indian-Origin Families

The Indian Express has the story.

Canada is changing its citizenship rules to remove decades-old restrictions that created thousands of “lost Canadians” — including many Indians who settled overseas. With the passing of Bill C-3, Canadians born abroad will now be able to pass citizenship to children also born outside Canada, provided they can show a substantial connection to the country. The reforms follow a court ruling that earlier laws were unconstitutional and unfair. Canada says the move makes its Citizenship Act more inclusive and aligned with how modern global families live. But when will the changes take effect? Who benefits? And what does this mean for Indian-origin families worldwide? Watch this complete explainer from The Indian Express to understand the new rules, legal implications, timelines, and expected surge in citizenship requests.
