Petition Action

Grant Canadians born before 1977 the right to dual citizenship.

Petition Details

The Canadian Citizenship Act 1976 replaced the term 'British subject' with 'Commonwealth citizen' in 1977, but the UK did not follow suit until 1 January 1983, when the British Nationality Act 1981 went into effect.

Additional Information

Thus, Canadians should have the right to dual citizenship with the United Kingdom, should they so desire. Please grant them this right!
