Big news in Canada’s immigration debate:
On October 8, the Conservative Party proposed ending automatic citizenship for babies born in Canada to parents who are temporary residents (like students or workers).
If this becomes law, only children born to Canadian citizens or permanent residents would automatically get citizenship.
Other countries like Australia, the U.K., and New Zealand already made this change years ago.
Supporters say it’s about fairness.
Critics argue it’s driven by fear, not facts.
It’s one of the biggest debates shaping Canada’s immigration future.
