## Resource

Canada’s citizenship department is urgently reviewing thousands of newly issued citizenship certificates under Bill C-3, which grants citizenship to descendants of Canadians—even if they have no direct ties to the country. Many recipients are devastated after receiving letters claiming their evidence wasn’t from official sources, sparking fears of losing citizenship. Experts condemn the process as reckless, noting the law’s retroactive nature creates impossible evidentiary hurdles. Immigration officials insist each case will be individually assessed, with applicants urged to submit direct records from original authorities—not genealogy sites—and explain any gaps. The stakes are high, and the outcome could reshape how Canada defines belonging. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
