Immigration Minister Marc Miller is giving so-called “lost Canadians” a chance to receive Canadian citizenship, now that court-mandated legislation will not be passed by the deadline.
“Lost Canadians” is a term applied to people who were born outside of the country to Canadian parents who were also born in another country.
