In this episode, we discuss birthright citizenship in Canada. Is it a good or bad thing? What is the difference between a Canadian born abroad and Canadian born in Canada, and a child born to a Canadian parent born abroad? What are the implications for Canadian citizens born after Dec. 15, 2025, and what does this mean for Canadian babies born after that date?

00:00:00.560 it there has been a major titan right i mean there's no question about it we've gotten rid
00:00:04.320 of all the horrible public private partnership community colleges which i load and um you know
00:00:11.520 you had immigration consultants in india and all around the world and some here kind of
00:00:17.200 luring people to canada saying oh you're gonna have a guaranteed pathway to permanent residence
00:00:20.960 meanwhile you have these poor kids from india primarily killing themselves because their 0.84
00:00:25.200 parents have you know basically spent all their money
00:00:33.760 joining me now ravi jane from jane immigration law uh somebody who can help us unravel what has
00:00:41.360 recently occurred here in canada with regard to birthright citizenship ravi thanks so much for
00:00:46.720 being here i appreciate it my pleasure nice to be here so you know i guess there's some basic
00:00:52.400 questions there's a headline going around millions could suddenly become canadian um
00:00:58.240 before we get into the details overall is that true about birthright citizenship
00:01:06.160 they're not becoming canadians they are canadians the right has vested they actually are canadians
00:01:13.840 it's just a matter of getting documentation to establish it uh for whatever reason right uh
00:01:19.360 whatever interest they have in gaining, but they actually are Canadian. This happened
00:01:26.560 as a result of a court case. The government was forced to act. Of course, it all stemmed from the
00:01:34.160 desire to limit Canadian citizenship. I think it actually stemmed from the evacuation of
00:01:42.160 of Canadians in Lebanon, and the very expensive cost to the Canadian government.
00:01:50.440 And so Stephen Harper came in and wanted to limit the ability to transfer Canadian citizenship
00:01:58.260 down generation after generation after generation.
00:02:00.820 So he said, for the second generation born abroad, we're going to limit it.
00:02:08.080 canadian parent would have had to bid in canada at the time of the burn and that created differences
00:02:16.560 it created some gender discrimination it was alleged in the court um and uh they prevailed
00:02:23.360 and so what ended up happening is they struck it down now the government although it's a liberal
00:02:30.560 government now i think they still liked some of what was in the legislation that the conservative
00:02:38.400 government had brought in because they did want to limit it going forward so in other words they
00:02:44.880 didn't just reverse to the status quo before stephen harper they actually they actually
00:02:49.280 continued with something of a restriction but this restriction as it turned out was simply that
00:02:57.680 for that parent of the second generation born abroad the parent didn't have to be born here
00:03:03.040 but they had to have a certain number of days in Canada right a few years some substantial
00:03:08.480 connection so in other words that way if your generation after generation after generation
00:03:14.640 born abroad children who are born in the future will not be Canadian unless the parent had spent
00:03:23.360 some time in canada with a substantial connection but we're talking about babies born after december
00:03:32.080 15 2025 that this applies to and that's the key and that's what a lot of us were sort of scratching
00:03:39.600 our heads wondering about it we understood that there was going to be the substantial connection
00:03:43.200 requirement for the parent of the second generation born abroad but we didn't
00:03:48.240 we didn't understand like when that would come into effect we assumed it would be for
00:03:51.760 or it would apply to all of the people who are currently alive or who were currently alive when
00:03:57.600 the legislation came into effect. And that turned out not to be the case. No, it's moving forward.
00:04:04.060 Yeah. It's about babies born after December 15, 2025 that have to have that substantial connection.
00:04:11.640 Okay. So let's try to understand what the actual changes are from
00:04:14.880 uh uh to be still uh bill c3 easy for me to say uh so basically this is uh a tightening to some
00:04:25.780 degree of a policy that was left much wider before uh but the perception i think to canadians
00:04:34.300 is that we are uh opening up more floodgates we're at a time where there's a reduction in
00:04:39.660 immigration uh many countries around the world are taking steps to reduce immigration and control it
00:04:46.300 in a better more uh usable and and fiscally responsible way uh but at the same time we
00:04:54.060 seem to be allowing citizenship to canadians that might never even live in this country
00:05:00.860 yes in a word yes so you're absolutely you hit the nail on the head i mean
00:05:05.580 it's it is a bit of a tightening um from what was the law when the liberals were in power
00:05:12.860 previously for sure it's a tightening because we are limiting citizenship going on a going forward
00:05:19.260 basis but for all those people born before december 15 2025 who were alive at that time
00:05:27.660 as long as you can trace your ancestry to a Canadian and it's unbroken you can't skip a
00:05:37.320 generation like it's got to be you know unbroken line continuous generations showing then then
00:05:44.400 they're Canadian and the other thing that I kind of was interesting interested to learn was that
00:05:51.060 because we had an official speak to us at our immigration lawyers group event and one
00:05:57.480 question was, well, surely do I, I mean, do I have to get, do I have to apply for the, the, the, the
00:06:03.340 oldest person who's alive kind of thing, like the great-grandfather or the grandparent, and then get
00:06:07.660 it, and then do the parent, and then get it, and then do the kids, and the answer is no. No, great
00:06:11.700 question. Yeah, they're all Canadian, so you can just apply simultaneously for all of them. So it
00:06:18.760 is, you're absolutely right that in a time when, you know, yes, there are, there are, there are many
00:06:25.240 that feel that the system was mismanaged the immigration system justin trudeau went on
00:06:30.120 television said yep we made mistakes um you know i'll give an example the number of temporary
00:06:36.600 residents that's people on visitor visas or records work permits or student visas
00:06:46.200 the number of temporary residents in canada went from 300 000 10 years ago
00:06:51.000 to 3 million today.
00:06:54.040 And I do this when I lecture and I go around and talk.
00:06:56.020 I said, it was 300,000 10 years ago.
00:06:58.020 Can anyone guess what it is today?
00:06:59.180 And then, oh, it's crazy.
00:07:00.700 It's 500,000.
00:07:01.800 It's a million.
00:07:02.780 Nobody ever says 3 million.
00:07:04.400 That's a number.
00:07:05.800 I will tell you right now, that's a number.
00:07:08.740 People seem, it seems obvious.
00:07:11.780 You go coast to coast in Canada.
00:07:15.000 That volume of immigration is actually, it's visible.
00:07:19.300 It's palpable.
00:07:20.220 You can see it in almost every town and city that that number would likely be in the millions.
00:07:26.840 But it is a number, actually, Ravi, people don't like to say.
00:07:29.960 Why do you think that is?
00:07:32.080 Well, I mean, I don't think they're aware.
00:07:34.660 I mean, I think they, I agree with you.
00:07:36.260 It's palpable.
00:07:37.140 I mean, you see it.
00:07:38.240 You see it in the north.
00:07:39.500 You know, you see international students in the northern parts of Ontario, for instance.
00:07:43.660 You see them with Uber Eats.
00:07:45.340 You see them in Uber drivers.
00:07:47.460 You see them in Tim Hortons.
00:07:48.820 like and so this is the complaint right is that a lot of people who are born here you know uh they
00:07:54.820 they've got teenage kids they can they say they can't get jobs right uh and they they point their
00:07:59.460 fingers at the immigrants right and they um you know there's well anything traffic you know health
00:08:06.020 care wait time whatever everything is getting housing prices everything is sort of getting
00:08:10.340 pointed that way now of course that there's been some severe restrictions on immigration
00:08:16.180 you know all of a sudden it's like oh we have a labor shortage you know and then you see the
00:08:20.340 prime minister saying well here's a couple billion dollars let's train 15 year olds onwards to for
00:08:24.740 the trades well what's that saying we have a labor shortage so you know you you cut down on the
00:08:30.660 immigration and then all of a sudden it's like oh we really need immigration again we need labor
00:08:34.740 um just while people are canadians are getting educated and learning how to do these trades etc
00:08:39.940 so yeah i mean it's it's always in the news it's a political hotbed issue um but my point was that
00:08:46.180 simply that you know it there has been a major titan right i mean there's no question about it
00:08:51.780 we've gotten rid of all the horrible public private partnership community colleges which i
00:08:56.980 load and um you know you had immigration consultants in india and all around the world
00:09:04.020 and some here are kind of luring people to canada saying oh you're gonna have a guaranteed pathway
00:09:07.940 to permanent residents meanwhile you have these poor kids from india primarily killing themselves
00:09:12.820 because their parents have you know basically spent all their money borrowed money they've
00:09:19.060 taken whatever property they have they've mortgaged it at rates that were outrageous and almost
00:09:24.340 unmanageable uh it seems and i think that we'll see more investigation and more reporting on that
00:09:31.220 i hope uh in the form of document you know documentaries or podcasts like this because
00:09:36.180 you're right these kids cannot go home they took every dime that the family would have they were
00:09:42.180 they were the great hope and so and i think the canadians are now becoming aware of that when you
00:09:47.300 talk about yeah our kids can't get jobs at tim hortons because minimum wage is a full-time 0.99
00:09:53.060 earning for an immigrant waiting to get status in a in a country where they they just took a useless 1.00
00:10:00.260 college course so i think the canadians by and large not immigrants or new immigrants over the
00:10:06.900 last 10 15 years recognize this it's it's a point where many canadians feel like yes these people
00:10:13.780 were taken advantage of and now here they are um and then you hear birthright citizenship
00:10:20.100 is expanding in this way uh and it is a little frightening and i do think many of us actually
00:10:24.660 ravi you raise a good point right away i was like well how many years are we going back on this i
00:10:28.980 I mean, we can't go back to the beginning of time, but hearing that this might be a reasonable way to entice, you know, a more solid or understandable or better applied version of immigration to citizens out there who have a connection to Canada, that might be advantageous.
00:10:50.420 is it i basically think it's neutral honestly because you know the people i speak to
00:10:58.100 they're either upset because of the political dynamic some are very very political they think
00:11:04.740 it's everything's going down the drain civil rights are going down the drain it's a fascist
00:11:10.580 you know country now and they're basically you know they're democrats are left-leaning or whatever
00:11:15.940 they are and they just they just they've had it they wanted them and you know i obviously i'm
00:11:20.420 listening to what they're saying and i'm sympathetic you know they think they see canada
00:11:25.540 as a very different place so um so many of them will get it and by the way i got i got calls when
00:11:32.900 obama was about to come in too right so you got people ironically wanting to come to canada maybe
00:11:38.660 they wanted to go to the west and i don't know but they were they were thinking canada was their big
00:11:43.620 answer to you know Obama in power right so it's kind of ironic but anyway so you get it you get
00:11:48.980 it every election cycle and and now we're seeing it between election cycles but we're seeing it
00:11:54.340 um with people becoming aware that they can become Canadian so there's political reasons
00:11:58.820 sometimes it's different sometimes it's people in the trans community uh parents you know who've got
00:12:05.060 a trans uh gendered child um you know adult adults are getting medications but there's restrictions
00:12:11.700 on children of course there's concerns that parents or health care providers will be criminalized
00:12:16.020 etc so so there's real palpable fear that i that i hear and i feel when i talk to these people
00:12:22.660 and um they want to get it if they are eligible uh because they want to be able to flee on a moment's 0.91
00:12:28.980 notice uh so you get those types you get some people in the jewish community um you know who
00:12:34.180 are just wanting to have a second passport right because historically they just felt
00:12:39.060 obviously this you know this sense of i need if i need to go somewhere i want to have an ability to
00:12:44.340 go and say here's my documentation i don't want to have to rely on someone you know so there's a
00:12:48.820 historical dynamic to that so so you get all kinds of different reasons but i mean you know
00:12:55.220 there are a few people trans families who have like who've come but but not as many uh and and
00:13:01.460 the vast majority of people i'm helping are going to have it and it's going to sit in the shelf like 0.77
00:13:06.580 I guess nothing's gonna happen.
00:13:08.180 So in some ways, yes, we've tightened immigration,
00:13:11.020 you know, for everyone else, and we, excuse me,
00:13:13.020 we've blown it wide open in terms of citizenship,
00:13:16.260 but is there a real economic effect?
00:13:19.180 Is there any real effect to this?
00:13:20.720 I mean, if anything, it's just money into the treasury,
00:13:23.420 right, and it's not that much, it's only $75,
00:13:25.880 but I mean, it's just, you know, it's processing,
00:13:28.140 it's keeping officers busy,
00:13:29.380 and people are gonna have a passport they have to renew,
00:13:32.020 and I guess there's fees for that,
00:13:33.240 I don't see I don't see a flood no I think that's the the real question here are we going to have a
00:13:40.920 huge flood now don't forget this this you know becomes effective people born after 2025 I think
00:13:47.440 you said yeah December 15 yeah and uh so having said that the effects of this probably if they
00:13:54.280 were going to be felt at all are pretty far down the road no no sorry that's just for people like
00:13:59.680 what what it was it's actually it that's the that's the limit right so they're going to have
00:14:04.400 the parents will have to have a substantial connection to canada if you're born after
00:14:09.100 december 15 2025 i understand okay but if you're born before that then you have then you have a
00:14:15.320 right right so a right to do it is open for anyone who was alive before december 15 yeah
00:14:20.140 okay well i don't know if my uh mother-in-law in mexico is hearing this but get packed mom
00:14:26.020 We're bringing you to Canada. We'll have a new passport for you soon.
00:14:30.760 So having said that, you know, as we look at immigration and this doesn't really have a huge leaning on the reduction of immigration.
00:14:39.460 As an immigration lawyer, you've had some boom years, but they were unraveling a lot of things.
00:14:47.040 I noticed unraveling the lies of agents in another country, unraveling what people thought
00:14:54.360 they could do and what their route to citizenship was going to be here in Canada. Now, does
00:15:01.740 that change your business a little bit? You think moving forward, the kind of immigration 0.99
00:15:05.920 will be back to the kind of business that you were maybe doing eight years ago, seven
00:15:11.000 years ago, as opposed to this flood of immigration that I'm sure was just constant paperwork
00:15:16.820 explaining the truth to people well it's interesting you say that because you know there are people who
00:15:25.780 go into this field to make money right and they are they see it as a business they might have
00:15:30.660 pivoted from real estate to now i'm going to go and do a community college course and i'm going to
00:15:35.860 you know become an immigration consultant and i'll skip law school that's too much work or it's too
00:15:40.580 much money or whatever and and now i'm going to go into the business of providing immigration
00:15:45.300 services to people. And I'm actually quite against that. I was just quoted in the Globe
00:15:49.140 Mail yesterday saying that I really do think that anyone who's not a lawyer needs to work
00:15:56.420 with a lawyer, with a lawyer's license being on the hook. And part of that is the way we're
00:16:01.060 trained. Lawyers take an oath to protect the public. We have a very vigorous law society,
00:16:08.580 every province has one, and they audit us. I started my own practice four years ago. I've
00:16:14.100 been audited three times and they check to see our trust accounts are done properly they check to see
00:16:18.980 i'm getting identification for everyone i have a consultation with the address the address of the
00:16:23.140 employer like all this stuff i have to get and i add a bunch of other questions to my questionnaire
00:16:28.260 before the meeting by the way to see if they've had previous refusals of visas um see if there's
00:16:33.380 any criminality in the background and this is something we're trained to do we're trained to
00:16:36.740 issue spotting that's what a lawyer is trained to do and a lawyer at the end of the day is you know
00:16:42.740 is there to protect and and to serve and not to see it as a business so i i never see myself as
00:16:50.020 a business person i never see the practice of law as a business uh in fact if you look at our
00:16:55.940 submissions from either the canadian bar association immigration section which i
00:17:00.820 used to be national chair of or the canadian immigration lawyers association which i helped
00:17:05.860 found and uh was president of the first president of the of sila if you look at our submissions
00:17:12.740 what we're what we as volunteers because we're not a lobbyist group and no other lawyer is paying me
00:17:18.180 to advocate and when i say things like lawyers should be the ones practicing law i'm not getting
00:17:22.740 paid by any lawyers to say this in fact lawyers are my competition why am i saying this and look
00:17:28.100 at our submissions what do our submissions say our submissions if you look at them they're
00:17:32.980 frequently designed to reduce our work and to reduce the lot of the reliance on immigration
00:17:39.620 lawyers to make things simpler and so you might in a way we're not very good business people
00:17:44.980 if we're constantly spending our own time volunteering to try to teach the government and
00:17:50.020 you know our lessons and how we've learned to do things and um and we say to people all time you
00:17:55.380 shouldn't need an immigration lawyer but you know at the same time when the government is gonna if
00:18:00.180 you if you tick the wrong box and if you forget about you know the fact that you were you know
00:18:07.540 you visited the united states and were denied a visa um to i don't know some other country
00:18:14.020 if you if you don't mention that you have a previous refusal of a visa and you just forget
00:18:21.060 they ban you for five years there's no like nuance oh well you were a kid and you know whatever let's
00:18:28.180 just do six months for you and two no they're just processing paperwork yeah everyone five
00:18:33.780 your ban so i mean this is how harsh the government is right you know i will say i will say this
00:18:40.420 i thought it was a lawyer and they screwed up my case they say fire beware it's your problem
00:18:45.700 yeah right right you filed it it's you well ravi it's interesting because uh in your industry
00:18:52.900 specifically of course because we have these conversations on a regular basis it's important
00:18:57.620 to Canadians. Because of this massive influx of immigration, podcasts in England, the US,
00:19:06.960 many parts of Europe are having the same conversations. It's not unusual for us to
00:19:12.700 have this conversation. By and large, the individuals that I've talked to that are
00:19:17.680 immigration lawyers in Canada are amazing people. They say the same thing you're saying. I'm not
00:19:24.000 here on the basis of business there's no shortage of business what i'm here to do is unravel for
00:19:31.120 canadians and new canadians and potential canadians how this gets done and that has always stuck with
00:19:37.760 me because i often do think do they talk to their accountants these lawyers because this is not
00:19:43.040 great business advice you know to actually tighten the industry or the the process for new canadians
00:19:50.480 is something i've noticed a lot of lawyers in this country care deeply about much different
00:19:55.760 than the agents that brought immigrants to canada misinformed uh unarmed and and you know frankly in
00:20:06.000 a world of fantasy well we're deeply affected right i mean when i see someone and you know
00:20:13.040 i hear of someone that is known to me through another client or or i met and i learned that
00:20:18.480 they've committed suicide i mean that obviously deeply affects you right and so at the time i
00:20:22.640 remember i was a lone voice this was years ago when i was really like alone saying i mean i
00:20:29.280 remember the minister is going on tv or having presses you know press releases whatever and
00:20:34.400 they're just going on about how you know there are billions of dollars that international students
00:20:38.640 are bringing to canada and we're competing don't forget they say against the uk australia united
00:20:44.960 states like this is great for canada there's just no downside here look at the wonderful community
00:20:50.160 colleges look at the buildings that we're building in the east coast and the west coast throughout
00:20:55.280 the country look at these beautiful shining new buildings that international students are paying
00:20:58.480 for you know the conservative governments around provincially could say hey you know we're keeping
00:21:02.720 tuition down for you your your kids your canadian kids are are not they haven't had an increase in
00:21:07.920 tuition for how long right and that's that was the sort of mentality everything's great everything's
00:21:13.360 fine you know and then i was saying yeah but these kids are killing themselves number one the
00:21:17.120 consultants are saying they got a guaranteed pathway to pr which they don't have number two
00:21:22.000 these private public partnership colleges someone's saying that they're going to get a work permit at
00:21:26.880 the end of their diploma and they don't they're not entitled to it so you know then they're
00:21:31.520 protesting at the colleges and they're upset and you know so it's just it wasn't it wasn't all it
00:21:36.960 was packed up to be and these you know i think one of the ministers sean frazier i think it was
00:21:41.360 maybe it was Mark Miller, excuse me, said something about, you know, their puppy mill
00:21:45.520 colleges and that they're, you know, you look at them, they're going to movie theaters,
00:21:50.080 they're going there in strip malls, they're not proper Canadian education institutions.
00:21:56.320 I honestly think it discredited Canadian education internationally, something we're going to have to
00:22:01.360 work our way back from at a time when universities are going to now be strapped for cash to make an
00:22:07.440 impression on the international community to bring students here at rates i promise you i paid for a
00:22:13.600 student for one year in this in this country i don't think canadians understand the difference
00:22:18.800 in price for a canadian student and an international student i don't know if you have figures on that
00:22:23.600 but it could be six to ten times yeah that's how much that's how much it is it's insane so it's
00:22:29.280 very very high and frankly you know i mean like i'm i try not to be political i'm a professional
00:22:34.480 and you know i don't i don't subscribe to one political um leaning when i'm talking to people
00:22:41.760 from professional perspective but i can tell you that the failing was um was was both parties
00:22:48.240 right i mean the conservatives they're running the education like it's constitutionally it's
00:22:53.040 an education education is a provincial head of power provincial thing that's right the
00:22:57.120 ministers who were just letting this run wild particularly in ontario letting their private and
00:23:02.960 you know the community colleges there were just it was just i see it i had frankly i thought it
00:23:08.080 was free right because you filled all the bums and seats you can now we're going to create these
00:23:12.800 partnerships and you know and basically have more and more international students coming in
00:23:19.360 and they just seem to be no limit to how many and the profits the globe mail ran a couple good
00:23:24.560 pieces showing how profitable these these private colleges were so i i think as a family provincially
00:23:30.960 now finally the federal government they're printing the visas right so they have responsibility too
00:23:35.360 they're basically saying hey we don't pick the designated learning institutions like that label
00:23:39.760 like who's designated that's given to us by the provinces we don't control that i'm like yeah but
00:23:44.800 you control the visas right you can see how many are coming in so then they said fine we're going
00:23:48.720 to impose a cap which is the right thing to do but but both parties you know and both levels
00:23:53.360 Everybody is not accomplice, but everybody is definitely aware of their benefit from this.
00:24:04.100 That's a good point that we don't hear very often.
00:24:05.940 Neither the province participated alongside this without any hesitation to do so.
00:24:12.320 Back to birthright, just for one second, birthright citizenship.
00:24:15.740 Just as a comparison, we've been talking about other countries in the world
00:24:18.500 and how they're handling this.
00:24:21.040 Historically, I think we've been similar to the UK, maybe similar to Australia.
00:24:27.680 Are they making changes based on their immigration situation as well?
00:24:32.300 I can't speak to that. I'm so focused on Canada, but obviously I can point to what's happening south.
00:24:38.340 I mean, you have the Constitution of the United States saying that you have a right to citizenship if you're born.
00:24:49.320 in the united states there's there's a little phrase after that um in the jurisdiction something
00:24:55.640 there's some kind of phrase and you know don trump was saying and he actually sat in the
00:25:00.360 supreme court i don't know if you remember this so it's the first time a president has come to
00:25:05.000 the supreme court in many many years to sit for he sat there for an hour just to like basically
00:25:10.120 put pressure on the justices um but it's it's i think legal scholars you know are pretty clear
00:25:16.760 that it's you know if you're born in the united states you are american right but he's saying
00:25:20.840 that if it's you know if you're if you're born to someone who wasn't there with any status then
00:25:26.120 legally yeah then yeah then then then he doesn't want them to have it and you know but if you
00:25:31.400 understand the impulse like there are people who who come to canada you know for brit tourism right
00:25:37.880 there are people that help them do that as a business so i mean it you know canadians can get
00:25:43.960 offended by that but tell maybe just for our listeners what is work tourism birth tourism
00:25:51.160 birth tourism so virtue is when you come you're pregnant um someone's here arranging for a
00:25:56.600 hospital for you uh hotels etc you come from russia you come from you know um asia you come
00:26:04.360 from wherever and then you give birth to your child and then you kind of stay for a while and
00:26:09.720 and then go back. And then the idea is that that child will be Canadian and, you know, can come
00:26:15.520 and get domestic tuition fees for university and live if they want to. They don't have to worry
00:26:22.720 about immigration. And that's arranged again by agents outside of Canada generally? Yeah,
00:26:29.360 there are people, I mean, I'm not saying they're immigration consultants, but there are people
00:26:33.820 have that as a business and um you know it's look i mean canadians do get upset about it but i think
00:26:42.380 again when i've seen the experts sort of uh who are familiar with the statistics really look into
00:26:48.300 it it is actually a very small numbers problem uh so i don't want to exaggerate it but yeah yeah
00:26:53.820 you know i'm just saying there's uh it does happen uh what do you think is the advantages if people
00:27:00.940 are watching right now thinking i'm going to get i'm going to take advantage of birthright citizenship
00:27:06.300 uh it's a good thing for what reason uh if you're a canadian to uh extend this what what do you
00:27:13.820 think some of the benefits are uh to people who are thinking about doing it you're talking about
00:27:19.260 birth tourism now yeah but sorry birth okay so if you just come here fly into oh the tremendous
00:27:24.940 advantages i mean you know they get all the security down the road they can just come and
00:27:28.860 get healthcare i mean there's a in ontario it's like a 90-day wait i believe but um like i say
00:27:34.060 domestic tuition fees uh you can just reside here you can then sponsor a spouse if you want to then
00:27:39.900 your spouse can come so there's lots of advantages to being canadian not to mention all the visas you
00:27:44.940 don't need for all the countries around the world we have one of the most respected passports in the
00:27:48.940 world so there's there are tremendous advantages uh if people wanted to find out more about this
00:27:55.660 ravi how could they reach out to you uh through your website or is there uh yeah i mean you
00:27:59.900 recommend i can help them with birth tourism i can help them with uh for sure in terms of the
00:28:05.980 you know the citizenship by descent right if they're if there are people around the world
00:28:10.780 who realize that they have you know someone in their lineage that's canadian and they want to
00:28:16.860 be a canadian for whatever reason as i said maybe maybe it's anti-semitism maybe they're in the
00:28:22.300 the trans community, maybe they're not happy with the state of politics in their country.
