The federal government may face challenges securing another extension to address constitutional issues in the Citizenship Act. Bill C-3, introduced on June 5, aims to reverse the 2009 "first-generation limit" rule, which prevents Canadian citizens born abroad from passing citizenship to children born outside Canada.

The bill would establish a 1,095-day cumulative presence requirement, which critics argue is insufficient to demonstrate a substantial connection to Canada.

With Parliament resuming on September 15, lawmakers have limited time to make the Act Charter-compliant before the November 20 deadline.
