October 05, 2023
An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (Oath of Citizenship)
  • Bill S-262, also known as the Oath of Citizenship Amendment Act, proposes changes to the Citizenship Act of Canada. Currently, individuals taking the oath of citizenship only have one option for the wording of the oath. This bill aims to provide two options for the oath, giving individuals the choice to swear allegiance to either the monarch (King Charles III) or to Canada directly. Both options include a commitment to uphold the laws of Canada and recognize the rights of Indigenous peoples. The bill will come into effect the day after it receives royal assent.
