| Canada Weighs Revoking Citizenship of Convicted Terrorists |
| 2014-02-07 |
| [An Nahar] The Canadian government on Thursday proposed sweeping changes to the country's immigration laws, including a provision that would strip citizenship from persons convicted of terrorism or spying. The measure specifically targets individuals with dual citizenship found to have "membership in an armed force or organized gang engaged in armed conflict with Canada," a government blurb said. It also targets anyone "convicted of terrorism, high treason, treason or spying offenses," the statement said. Penalties for immigration fraud would also increase, and applicants would have to commit to residing in the country and curbing their foreign travels -- a move aimed at tens of thousands of Canadian passport holders living abroad. "Canadians understand that citizenship should not be simply a passport of convenience," said Immigration Minister Chris Alexander in a statement. |
