Losing Canadian Citizenship and Permanent Residence


As if to confirm our last blog posting, the Federal Court recently not only allowed the removal of Canadian citizenship from a family, but also imposed $63, 000 of costs on them. Costs which are very high in Citizenship and Immigration litigation.

 


 

This article illustrates the reality that our warnings are not us “crying wolf” but a true reflection of today’s reality when it comes to Canadian Citizenship and Permanent Residence. The final piece of advice, while seemingly self-serving, is as true. It is wise when dealing with such matters to seek the assistance not only of experienced litigators but of litigators experienced in Citizenship and Immigration matters, and the Federal Court, because such litigation is highly specialized and unique.

 

For those interested this is link to the actual decision of the Federal Court,

 


 

Finally, a warning to many clients who have been misled by  so called “professionals” .  Lets just say that maintaining status and citizenship in Canada, is no longer “easy” as you were made to believe, and if you wish to remain Canadian Permanent Residents and Canadian Citizens you better take proactive steps to protect your status. We also believe that criminal prosecutions in certain cases will be a growing reality.
