Convicted criminals from G7 nations eligible for citizenship under Bill C-3, Conservatives warn

Conservative Shadow Minister of Immigration Michelle Rempel Garner has raised concerns about changes to Canadian citizenship laws under Bill C-3. She stated that non-citizens convicted of serious crimes in countries like the United States can now apply for Canadian citizenship by descent. Conservatives proposed an amendment to block individuals with serious criminal records from automatic citizenship, but the government removed the clause. Rempel Garner warned that the expanded legislation creates major application backlogs and undermines the value of Canadian citizenship. She is urging the government to adopt common-sense amendments to address these safety issues.
