In 2014, Chris Alexander, the current Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, introduced Bill C-24, which overhauls much of Canada’s citizenship regime. Canadian citizenship will now be harder to obtain, and easier to lose.

/ q* Z* w4 M0 F; K" n% STo apply for Canadian citizenship, permanent residents now both have to have lived in Canada for four years out of the last six, and also have to have lived in Canada for 183 days or more per year in four out of the last six years. Previously, permanent residents only had to live in Canada for three out of the four years prior to their application. As well, much to the chagrin of international students and foreign workers, the time spent in Canada prior to obtaining permanent residency will no longer count toward the residency requirement.

As well, Bill C-24 introduces a requirement that all citizenship applicants have an intention to reside in Canada. While the Government of Canada has been vague on what the practical effect of this provision will be, this requirement combined with the fact that Bill C-24 makes it easier for the Government of Canada to revoke citizenship for misrepresentation in citizenship applications has left many concerned that Bill C-24 will create a second class of citizens who will have to fear working and travelling abroad. : Z Y% @& O/ K( m: ^) y9 k
