Back on January 24 Candace blogged about displaced persons.
Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of Canadians have been stripped of their citizenship without notice years ago, and many are just now finding that out. This includes some war brides and, in some cases, their children; children born to Canadian parents outside the country prior to 1977, and probably a few others.
Looks like the government of the day has listened and did in deed take quick action to resolve the problem in a timely manor.
The federal government has set up a new system to restore citizenship quickly to people who have discovered they are no longer Canadians because of a little-known section in the law.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada on Friday added a new option to its hotline, 1-888-242-2100, specifically for people who wish to regain their Canadian citizenship in a hurry.
Kudos's to Citizenship Minister Diane Finley for taking action on this in a timely manor.
Now if only we could get the rest of the bureaucracy to work as quickly on other endeavours.
