Citizenship for Adopted Children - 2008

The government has implemented a new process for obtaining citizenship for adopted children. (December23, 2007)

Canada's new law to provide citizenship for children adopted abroad (Bill C-14) is widely believed to permit automatic Canadian citizenship for these children.

We have written an analysis of this new citizenship law: Citizenship for Adopted Children. The purpose is to raise awareness among adoptive parents and adoption agencies across Canada about what the new law does and doesn't permit.

We would like to hear your experience under the new system. Please contact us.
