Bill C-3: An Act to amend the Citizenship Act (2025)

This bill primarily affects individuals and their citizenship status rather than businesses directly. However, immigration consultants, citizenship lawyers, and legal service providers across Canada will see increased demand as potentially thousands of people seek to confirm restored or newly conferred citizenship. Employers who hire workers with complex citizenship situations — particularly in industries that require proof of Canadian citizenship for security clearances or regulated professions — may find it easier to verify status for affected individuals. The bill does not impose new obligations on businesses of any size, industry, or province.
