This bill changes the Citizenship Act so that certain people who have lost their Canadian citizenship can regain it. It applies to those who previously applied to keep their citizenship but were rejected, and to those born outside Canada after February 14, 1977, who would be citizens if they had applied before April 17, 2009. There is an exception for those who were citizens on June 11, 2015. This bill only affects certain individuals and does not change the requirements for obtaining Canadian citizenship.
