Canada Citizenship Certificates Being Recalled
Description
Canada is recalling citizenship certificates from a small number of applicants—just a few dozen—under a new law allowing citizenship by descent, leaving recipients like American Tom Maher in shock and confusion. The government’s lack of transparency has sparked outrage among lawyers, who call the situation a “roller-coaster,” as recipients face sudden suspensions and revalidations after years of effort. The Immigration Minister cited an unspecified issue prompting a review, while the Prime Minister promises follow-up. New applications are now paused, halting over 82,000 pending cases and extending processing times to 15 months. With no clear answers on how many were affected or why, applicants and legal experts alike demand swift, consistent resolution.
