  1. Government of Canada to Repeal Bill C-24 on Canadian Citizenship

  2. Major changes to the Canadian Citizenship Act are expected to be announced over the coming days, with Canada's Immigration Minister stating that the Liberal government will soon follow through on its election pledge to repeal the controversial Bill C-24, which was brought in by the previous Conservative government. Among other measures, C-24 gave the government the power to revoke Canadian citizenship from dual citizens convicted of terrorism, treason or espionage. Furthermore, C-24 expanded the age range for mandatory language proficiency testing, from 18 to 54 years of age to 14 to 64, and no longer allowed individuals taking the Canadian knowledge test to use an interpreter.
