Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has proposed a new solution to expedite the naturalization process, allowing new citizens to affirm their citizenship oath electronically on a secure webpage instead of in person at a traditional ceremony.
This amendment will be open for public consultation for 30 days, ending on March 27, 2023.
After completing this process, it may come into effect by June 2023.
Experts argue that making becoming a citizen more accessible by removing the oath requirement will devalue citizenship and render it meaningless.
This has been essential to acquiring Canadian citizenship since 1947; thus, any alterations should be considered cautiously. #IRCC, #Citizenship, #Citizenhip_oath, #Canadian_citizenship

The Royal Bank of Canada report reveals that Canada is the most welcoming G7 country for immigrants, accounting for 90% of population growth.
Additionally, the report notes that newcomers to Canada are better educated than native-born citizens - however, they work in jobs with much lower educational requirements than their qualifications and experience.
This issue, affecting many professions, is particularly daunting for those with medical science, dentistry, veterinary medicine, or optometry degrees.
According to RBC's statistical analysis results, foreign-born workers are six times more prone to find themselves working at jobs which do not require specialized training than their domestic counterparts.
