A comprehensive review by the Library of Parliament reveals significant shifts in Canadian citizenship trends, with citizenship rates among recent immigrants declining between 2006 and 2021. The report examines various aspects of citizenship acquisition, including naturalization processes, “lost Canadians” cases, and birth tourism concerns. Key findings highlight how factors such as income, education, and country of origin influence citizenship rates while also addressing ongoing legislative challenges, particularly with the recent Bill C-71, which aimed to resolve remaining “lost Canadians” issues before its expiration in January 2025.
