Dual Citizenship & Criminal Convictions & Canadian Citizenship

[Gurpinder]

My uncle, aunt, and their 3 children are Canadian citizens. All children were born in Canada. My uncle was born in India and aunt was born in Kenya. One son has some criminal history and my aunt is worried as she heard he may be deported to India or Kenya. Is this true or she got wrong information?

As per provisions given in the Canadian citizenship act, which came into effect on 11 June 2015, the Minister was given the authority to strip away the Canadian citizenship and deport the person to the country from where his/her parents belonged to, for criminal serious matters. This provision was revoked on 19 June 2017. Now Canadian citizens will be dealt by judicial process of the courts of the land with respect to serious criminal matters such as treason, espionage, and terrorist activities.
