Ottawa reverses order to surrender some ‘lost Canadian’ citizenship certificates
A few recipients had their citizenship restored after IRCC reviewed documents, while the department continues examining roughly 4,100 claims under Bill C-3.
- On Monday, the Immigration Department reconfirmed citizenship for some 'lost Canadians' over the weekend, reversing surrender orders issued just one week earlier following a 'thorough review' of their cases.
- Earlier this month, the Immigration Department demanded that a few dozen individuals who obtained citizenship under Bill C-3 surrender their certificates pending review, though officials have not disclosed what prompted the notices.
- Bridget Burnett, an American moving from Colorado to Vancouver Island, received reconfirmation after her family's file underwent 'thorough review,' though Burnett remains anxious about potential future status changes as she settles in British Columbia.
- Citizenship Canada is currently reviewing roughly 4,100 citizenship-by-descent claims while temporarily pausing the finalization of new certificates to investigate potential document issues within existing files.
- Immigration Minister Lena Diab has stated that evidence from websites like Ancestry is insufficient for proving descent, requiring applicants to submit 'verified, authenticated documents' to satisfy the ongoing administrative review.
