CILA is excited to invite you to our upcoming CLE webinar, <\/strong>“Navigating the New Era of Canadian Citizenship: Beyond the First-Generation Limit.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The landscape of Canadian citizenship has undergone its most significant transformation in decades. With the passing and implementation of Bill C-3<\/b> (formerly Bill C-71) as of December 15, 2025, the “unconstitutional” first-generation limit is officially a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For immigration practitioners, this shift represents more than just a legislative update\u2014it is a massive expansion of potential clients and a complete rewrite of the rules for citizenship by descent. Families who were previously told their children had no claim to Canadian status are now looking to you for guidance.<\/p>\n

Are you prepared to navigate the “Substantial Connection” test? Can you identify which “Lost Canadians” have been automatically reinstated?<\/p>\n

Join Us for an Intensive Practitioner\u2019s Briefing<\/h3>\n

This 90-minute webinar is designed specifically for immigration lawyers. We will move beyond the headlines to provide a technical, deep-dive analysis of the new legislative framework,\u00a0 IRCC’s updated processing guidelines, and the practicalities of proving physical presence under the new rules.<\/p>\n
