详解：2017加拿大公民法修正方案 Bill C-6

Citizenship could be revoked from dual citizens convicted of treason, spying and terrorism offences, depending on the sentence received, or who were a part of an armed force of a country or organized group engaged in conflict with Canada.

此条例被废止。

加拿大居住的双重国籍的人士被判罚此类罪行，将与其他加拿大公民一视同仁，只需面对加拿大的司法系统处罚。

This provision is repealed. Dual citizens living in Canada who are convicted of these crimes will face the Canadian justice system, like other Canadian citizens who break the law.

Applicants were required to intend to continue to live in Canada if granted citizenship.

申请人一旦获得加拿大公民身份，不需有长期在加拿大居住，以便加拿大公民根据个人原因或事业考量自由选择。

This provision is repealed. Applicants are no longer required to intend to continue to live in Canada once granted citizenship. This provides more flexibility to Canadians who may need to live outside of Canada for work or personal reasons.

The Minister had the discretion to waive certain requirements under subsection 5(1) of the Citizenship Act so a minor could obtain citizenship without a Canadian parent.

未成年人士的监护人或经法庭判决，书面协议或司法认定的监护人，可以代理申请该未成年人士的加拿大公民身份。

Minors can now apply for citizenship without a Canadian parent, as the age requirement for citizenship has been removed under subsection 5(1). A person having custody of the minor or empowered to act on their behalf by court order, written agreement or operation of law, can now apply for citizenship on behalf of the minor, unless that requirement is waived by the Minister.

No provision existed to prevent individuals serving a sentence in the community (a conditional sentence order) from being granted citizenship, taking the Oath of Citizenship or counting this time towards meeting the physical presence requirements for citizenship.

Individuals serving a conditional sentence will not be granted citizenship, take the Oath of Citizenship, or be able to count this time towards meeting the physical presence requirements for citizenship.

The Minister has the discretion to grant citizenship to a person to alleviate cases of special and unusual hardship, or to reward services of an exceptional value to Canada.

Statelessness has been added as a stand-alone ground that can be considered for a discretionary grant of citizenship.

The Department has reasonable measures to accommodate the needs of citizenship applicants. However, there was no explicit reference to accommodate persons with disabilities in the Citizenship Act.

The requirement to take into consideration reasonable measures to accommodate the needs of a citizenship applicant who is a disabled person is now included in the Citizenship Act.

The requirement for applicants to maintain the requirements for citizenship from the time they apply for citizenship until taking the Oath of Citizenship only applied to applications received on or after June 11, 2015.

This requirement now also applies to all applications, including those received before June 11, 2015.

Applicants had to be physically present in Canada for four out of six years before applying for citizenship.

Applicants had to be physically present in Canada for 183 days in four out of the six years preceding their application.

This provision is repealed. Applicants no longer have to meet this requirement.

Time spent in Canada prior to becoming a permanent resident did not count towards the physical presence requirement for citizenship.

Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident as a half-day toward meeting the physical presence requirement for citizenship, up to a maximum credit of 365 days.

Applicants between 14 and 64 years had to meet the language and knowledge requirements for citizenship.

加拿大联邦法庭负责裁定与国家安全，人道，人权，和组织犯罪类的虚假信息，蓄意伪证，和隐瞒事实的褫夺加拿大公民身份案例。

The Minister was the decision-maker for most cases of citizenship revocation on the grounds of false representation, fraud, or knowingly concealing material circumstances.

The Federal Court is the decision-maker in all revocation cases, unless the individual requests that the Minister make the decision.
