Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice has ruled it’s unconstitutional for Canada to deny automatic citizenship to children born abroad to parents who were also born overseas but have a substantial connection to Canada — a big win for “Lost Canadians” trying to reclaim citizenship rights.
That feels like a perfectly reasonable carve out though, if you were born abroad because you were active duty military or part of the diplomatic core then we should probably count you as being in Canada. America, as an example, does that - service member children born abroad are considered to be born within the country.
And yet under the law that was just declared unconstitutional, it was not carved out, screwing my son over.
