15Dec2025, Bill #C-3 amended the #CitizenshipAct to allow individuals with a #Canadian grandparent to claim #citizenship by descent, even if their parent was not born in Canada
Action Required: You *must apply* to #IRCC for a proof of #CitizenshipCertificate
#LostCanadians in #NewHampshire. Calling to you.
BTW: I realized that Karoline Leavitt's nephew is eligible for this, should he need to leave the country....

I've been hearing for years that the failure to teach/learn cursive handwriting was going to blow back somehow. I didn't really think so.
Am now watching youngsters struggle with 19th century really nice penmanship in #LostCanadians forums (on church documents + census forms).
Struggle. Real.
This is clearer than any media I've seen (even from immigration law firms) on the #LostCanadians issue.
There are displaced Acadians, descendants of the Underground Railroad, and the economic diaspora all working this now. It's fascinating.
The 1st #LostCanadians article that gets it right. A lot of people are eligible for citizenship now.
Just this morning a #trans family got their approval and are very happy about that.
I understand this isn't for everyone, but if you need this--might consider it.

If you [global you, not you personally] have Canadian ancestors, look into the #LostCanadians stories and new legislation. Things may have changed since you last checked....
It's kind of ironic and unfortunate that we're in the place today, but this means the old Underground Railroad might save more people today as a result of this legislation. The decendants of those very people. #LostCanadians
I'm seeing some of their descendants in the #LostCanadians forums now--many of them are trying this new citizenship route too!
Well, the diaspora community will be fun and queer, and getting larger now.

The new Canadian legislation for the #LostCanadians looks very promising for a lot of people in New England--we are finding the documents we need to claim that citizenship pathway.
I know it's not for everyone, but maybe it will help some people. I've seen it already in the forums.
Next year in Avonlea.

My great grandmother got a cow in the will.
I got a PhD in molecular biology. Not that this regime values science at all either though.
Luckily, Canada is welcoming us back. #LostCanadians

The Bill for Lost Canadians has received Royal Assent.
Bill restoring citizenship for 'Lost Canadians' becomes law
Court ruled government must pass law covering some children born abroad #Canada #LostCanadians

Good news! The Liberals backed the NDP’s amendments to delete the Conservatives’ proposed restrictions on birthright citizenship in Bill C-3.
This is a victory for fairness, inclusion, and Lost Canadians who’ve waited far too long for justice.

Cons created 2 classes of Canadians by denying citizenship to children born abroad to Canadian parents.
My amendments to C-3 would restore their rights and make our laws charter-compliant.
Citizenship is a birthright — not a privilege.

I’m deeply disappointed that Conservatives and Bloc MPs teamed up to pass amendments to Bill C-3 — the Lost Canadians bill — that undermine its very purpose: to right historic wrongs faced by Lost Canadians and their families. #cdnpoli #LostCanadians
Bill C-3 is vital to fix citizenship laws—but warns it could meet the same fate as Bill C-71, which died after a Conservative filibuster. Will they keep playing political games ahead of lost Canadians? 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #LostCanadians 3/

This is astounding. What the current situation is right now is that Canada’s Citizenship Act, with respect to lost Canadians, is in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Bill C-3 will make it Charter-compliant. 2/

Bill C-3 aims to reverse Harper’s 2009 “first-generation limit” on citizenship. The courts say it’s unconstitutional. Parliament has until Nov 20. This is a significant piece of legislation that needs to be done.” 🧑⚖️🇨🇦 #LostCanadians #cdnpoli 1/ www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/0...
The previous #LostCanadians bill, C-71, died when Parliament prorogued. The Senate studied it, but Liberal delays & Conservative stalling failed families. When Parliament resumes, we must pass Bill C-3 to deliver justice! 4/ ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...
As NDP immigration critic, I fought tirelessly for #LostCanadians on Bill C-71, stalled by Liberal inaction & a Conservative filibuster. Now, Bill C-3 aims to fix this unjust law. The court’s 4th extension demands action by Nov 20, 2025. 2/ ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...
