| | Canadian nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Many of the provisions to acquire or lose Canadian citizenship that existed under the 1946 legislation were repealed. | | | Former Canadians who lost British subject status before 1947 have no specific rights to Canadian citizenship, except in the case of women who lost British subject status on marriage to a foreign man. | | | New Canadians get a certificate when they are granted citizenship. |

| | Further, where access to Canadian citizenship is restrictive on the basis of such immutable characteristics as a person's mother's gender and/or the national origin of the naturalized father, such legislation continues to create two classes of Canadian-born children who were born prior to February 15, 1977: those born of naturalized Canadians versus native-born Canadians. | | | The minister or a delegated officer's new power to annul citizenship may be abused and it may be deployed without regard to the principles of justice and procedural fairness. | | | I swore in approximately 30,000 Canadians in the five years that I had the honour of being with the citizenship court. |

| | Since April 25, 1998 appeals to the Federal Court brought under s14 (5) of the Citizenship Act now proceed by way of application for judicial review and is based on the record before the Citizenship judge and no longer may new evidence be heard by the Federal Court judge. | | | The Federal Court may allow the application if (a) the tribunal (citizenship judge) exceeded his jurisdiction or refused to exercise its jurisdiction, (b) breached a principle of natural justice, (c) erred in law, or (d) based his decision on an erroneous finding of fact made in a perverse or capricious manner. | | | The legal impediment to citizenship no longer existed and the Application was eligible for citizenship. |

| | The Court said "where access to a benefit such as citizenship is restricted on the basis of something so intimately connected to and so completely beyond the control of an applicant such as gender of his or her Canadian parent,"... | | | Therefore, access to the valuable privilege of Canadian citizenship is restricted in different degrees depending on my national origin; national origin being one of the enumerated grounds in s. | | | It would be sad example to the world if Lost Canadian Children had to petition Canadian courts on unfair and egregious minor child issues in order to enact amendments restoring citizenship for children who wouldn't have lost it under today's laws. |

| | DC/Legal/36370/September 28, 2000 |
| | I submit to you that a Canadian citizen who is accused of obtaining his or her citizenship by false representation, or knowingly concealing material circumstances, should have the same rights as a person who has committed a crime while visiting our country, or a refugee applicant whose case has been denied by the IRB. | | | I escaped from a communist dictatorship where the rule of law was subjected to the denunciations, show trials and a rein of terror that resulted in the deportation of citizens in the dead of night. | | | Perhaps it is trying to say that a false declaration in a citizenship application leads to a presumption that the applicant knowingly breached the standards and, but for that, citizenship would not have granted. |

| | Journal of Canadian Studies: Class and community in Canadian welfare work, 1933-1960 |
| | "Representatives" of the union movement, the officers and staff of labour centres, are no more (and no less) "typical" of their constituency than ups or senior civil servants are typical Canadians. | | | For example, unions would not have been able to spare volunteers to act as community leaders had not new labour law provided many unions with a secure institutional and financial base. | | | This latter association is suggested by the fact that, when the Montreal Labour Council resolved on 25 May 1961 to ask all its affiliates to form "Welfare and Community Services" committees, it referred to the "great economic crisis" forcing union members to seek out their welfare entitlements from both public and private agencies. |
