[quote=Anonymous]Based on the webpage provided, here is a summary of the changes to the Canadian Citizenship Act following the passage of Bill C-3 on December 15, 2025.

Core Change: Removal of the First-Generation Limit
The legislation amends the "first-generation limit" (FGL), which previously restricted citizenship by descent to only the first generation born outside Canada. The new rules allow citizenship to be passed down to the second generation or later under specific conditions.

New Eligibility Rules

For those born or adopted on or after December 15, 2025:
Individuals born outside Canada in the second generation or later may be eligible for citizenship if their Canadian parent (who was also born outside Canada) spent at least 1,095 days (accumulative) in Canada prior to the child's birth or adoption.

For those born or adopted before December 15, 2025:
Citizenship is automatically restored or granted to most individuals born outside Canada in the second generation or later to a Canadian parent.

This also applies to those born to parents who regained citizenship through these changes.

Those who do not wish to be citizens can apply to renounce their citizenship.[/quote]
