On February 21, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced a new public delivery update regarding the revocation of citizenship.
New instructions clarify the process to revoke Canadian citizenship and assist the Case Management Branch (CMB) to evaluate cases where an individual’s citizenship is being considered for revocation for the reasons such as false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances.
When the IRCC suspects misrepresentation, the Compliance Inspections and Investigations Division (CIID) gathers and collates relevant information on potential revocation of citizenship cases.
In addition, the Government also updated the instructions for general information on revocation of citizenship.

Last year, Canada welcomed more than 405,000 permanent residents.
This is a record number of immigrants accepted by Canada in one year. Immigration drives almost 100% of the Canadian labour force and accounts for approximately 80% of population growth.
In addition, currently, there are under 1,000,000 unfilled vacancies in the country that the Government tries to fill by inviting more and more candidates.
According to Statistics Canada, by 2030, around 5,000,000 Canadians are expected to retire, which will drop the worker to retiree ratio to 3:1.
Thus, the Canadian Government increased the immigration levels to meet the economic needs and tackle the labour shortage issue in the country.

Since over 85% of children in Jamaica are born while their parents are in a common-law or “visiting” relationship, a significant proportion of permanent resident applications (including both economic and family class cases)
require officers to do an in-detail investigation to resolve questions around accompanying and non-accompanying dependents.
The Registrar General's Department of Jamaica implemented measures that allow children who were not born to married parents to have their birth records, which indicate being born “in wedlock” to ease the processing of permanent residency.
