November 21, 2025—Ottawa—Canada has taken an important step toward modernizing its citizenship laws. Canadians excluded under outdated rules will have a fair, clear way to pass citizenship on to their children born or adopted outside Canada.

Bill C-3, An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (2025), has received royal assent. This represents an important milestone in making the Citizenship Act more inclusive, while maintaining the value of Canadian citizenship.

Once the new law comes into force, Canadian citizenship will be provided to people born before the bill comes into force, who would have been citizens if not for the first-generation limit or other outdated rules of past legislation.

Climate action is not only a moral responsibility—it’s an economic necessity. The global shift to a low-carbon economy is accelerating, changing how growth happens and where capital flows. To stay competitive, Canada must catalyse investment across clean and conventional sectors so our industries can meet the world’s rising demand for low-carbon products and energy. In the face of global uncertainty, Canada’s new government is focused on what we can control. How we respond to the challenge of climate disruptions will influence Canada’s economic competitiveness, drive new investment opportunities and shape our global standing for generations to come. Canada must take action to fight climate change, drive down emissions and invest in building the economy of the future.
