      Looking forward to importing a bunch of that lunacy up here. They can come ruin our country as their „back up plan“

    2. aloneinwilderness27 on

      We are not a ‚just in case‘ plan for their convenience. Either commit or don’t bother.

      This is stupid.

      Ya let’s offer up all our services to people who have never paid for them.

      We can’t even handle the amount of people we currently have, why on earth would we want more?

      This is insulting to Canadians. They fail to protect their own country and don’t want to do anything to fight for all these “American values” they were so proud of a couple of years ago.

      So now they’re going to use our country as an escape plan? Cowards.

      The new citizenship law allows people to claim citizenship by descent going back unlimited generations for anyone born before December 15, 2025. So there are people claiming citizenship from a descendant born in what is now Canada going all the way back to the 1700s and maybe even beyond that.

      This is mostly because of a court ruling that struck down Harper’s citizenship law.

      It’s very stupid and most people are planning to come to Canada to take advantage of things and not actually contribute. They just view Canadian citizenship as a trophy to collect.

      I’ve even seen posts where these people want to petition the government or get a judge to strike down the part where you have to be born before December 15, 2025 because they want their future children to get Canadian citizenship too.

      I cant help but suspect it’s yet another plot to prop up the housing market again especially the Toronto one

      Incoming flood of anti-immigration U.S. fed comments, get your sunglasses ready

      The social contract is broken when our hard earned social welfare and citizenship are thrown around to anyone who shows up in queue.

      A decade of pissing away resources on non-Canadians and now this 🙃 We‘re becoming a de facto economic zone at this point, with tax-paying Canadian citizens footing the bill while waiting in a long line for basic medical services among other things.

      If you’re upset about this bill, email your MP! Especially if they’re Liberal. Tell them you’re not ok with American retirees moving here for free healthcare in their later years despite never paying income tax in Canada. 

      Tell them you’re not ok with parents sending their kids to university in Canada for the cheaper (tax payer subsidized) tuition, despite never having paid into the system. 

      Tell them that someone whose last ancestor left Canada or died before Canada was even a country should not be receiving citizenship. 

      Tell them that at the very least, certified records should be a requirement. Not print outs from ancestry.com or archives. They can change this bill or they can change their interpretation of it. We need to use our voice and voting power.

      Prob should have some rules to this otherwise we will have the same issue Italy had where tons of people with descent claimed citizenship “just in case” and it cost them a fortune to process with no real ROI.

      Canada should end dual citizenship. Your allegiance to Canada is in citizenship.It’s not a convince.

    16. nelly2929 on

      Nope keep them out…. Stay down there and vote or protest your way out of the mess you folks have created !

    18. LabEfficient on

      And they are here for our healthcare and education. Keep paying your taxes so others don’t have to.

    19. RealNews613 on

      Canadians of convenience. At least they’ll still be taxed if they retain their U.S. citizenship.

    23. izza123 on

      This is so bad for Canada it’s incredible. It further distills the states politically and imports problems.

      Just because many of the people applying appear to align with you personally politically, doesn’t mean an influx of Americans into Canada is a good thing.

    24. No-Accident69 on

      I hate the idea of welcoming people who only want Canada for convenience and whatever else they can take from us, like free medical etc

    25. deeplearner- on

      It’s frankly insulting that people who have vague connections – and yes, to me, a 9th generation great-grandparent is vague – and who have contributed nothing to Canada, are being given welcome mats into the country when there’s an ongoing housing and cost of living crisis. I am not sure how much the scope of this law can eventually be tightened but it must be tightened. 

      Edit: Citizenship needs to mean something. I am ok with laws that allow descendants the opportunity to immigrate with the possibility to convert a PR to citizenship after a given set of years residing in Canada. But outright citizenship because someone’s greatx7 grandfather was in Canada a few hundred years ago? Ridiculous.

    26. Efficient_Tonight_40 on

      Canada should not have dual citizenship. If you want the benefits of citizenship, then you need to be committed to actually living in the country and contributing to it

    27. Interwebnaut on

      Could Canada benefit by copying the US approach to taxing world wide income?

    28. that1senpai2 on

      So I recently found out I’m eligible to become a dual citizen, but learned the fees are really expensive.

      I’m focusing on earning my bachelor’s degree first before considering making a move, but does anyone here have any real advice for someone like me to consider before doing this?

    29. nickiatro on

      People are so misinformed on this topic!

      Most of them are French Canadians who lost their citizenship generations ago because they moved to New England because of economic problems in Québec.

      They still identify as French Canadians in the U.S. Census and are basically people who are culturally Canadian on the other side of the border.

      They are a prime example of what it means to be a lost Canadian.

      Source: I’m from Québec and they teach it in history class and I have family in Massachusetts.

      I’m curious how many actually follow through. I doubt its enough to actually be an issue

    32. MrSurfington on

      I applied so I can move to a country that respects its citizens a bit better and for more opportunities. No I’m not delusional or expecting a utopia, just better job opportunities in my field and also I’m excited to learn French and work in bilingual areas. Moving to Canada to learn about my Acadian ancestors and start fresh has always been a dream, now becoming a reality.

      I hate conservatives and feel like even the more progressive states like those in New England could still do better. I highly doubt that an onslaught of American chuds are really going to abuse Bill C-3 to enter Canada, because not only does it requires a decent amount of genealogy work, but also a desire to move to a place that conservatives hate in the first place. They’re more likely to move to Florida or Texas honestly. As a progressive American, I’m tired of anti-immigration talk here in the states and I’m sure I’ll be doubly tired of it when I move to Canada. Some things never change lol

      In any case, Bill C-3 is doing a lot of good for a lot of people and immigration is often unfairly treated as a scapegoat for wider issues. If you want to read the history as to why Bill C-3 passed and why it’s a good thing for a lot of Lost Canadians, check out this excellent post [here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Canadiancitizenship/comments/1s7cr7a/how_we_got_here_a_brief_history/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

      Why has Canadas government opened this pandoras box? We are devaluing citizenship if everyone is eligible.

    35. Melodic-Moose3592 on

      As a former American who did legal immigration from zero to citizen, this rubs me the wrong way. Took me 13 years just to get PR.

    37. wiibarebears on

      Ya but they need to prove it, so many will give up because it’s hard and they don’t know how.

    38. Early-Weekend-2557 on

      I’m one of the Americans who applied and I am incredibly grateful. My grandfather was a Canadian born citizen and I want out of this shit hole country (US).

      I would rather contribute to a society like Canada which aligns more closely with my values and most of the people who are applying are almost certainly of the same mindset.

      Honestly, people who are worried about this are upset about the wrong things. Immigration is an easy tool to manipulate people politically. I’ve seen it firsthand here in the US. Don’t be fooled into thinking that it isn’t being used as a political tool in Canada too. It happens in every country. It’s a core part of the fascist playbook.

    39. Careless_and_weird-1 on

      It’s a reality that getting out of a fascist regime is better done sooner than later. Just so usa knows

      We should be going out of our way to attract the wealth of scientific talent Trump is in the process of defunding and driving out of the country.
