Canada set to lift restrictive citizenship by descent norms

Marc Miller, Canada's immigration minister, presented a bill on Thursday evening that aims to expand citizenship by descent to include more than just the first generation. The proposed legislation has been met with positive reactions from various immigrant communities, particularly the Indian diaspora. In 2009, the Citizenship Act underwent amendments that introduced a 'first-generation limit' on citizenship by descent.
