The key thing is that this is disciplinary and after the fact.

Some municipalities in other provinces do have provisions for extras floors to be permitted beyond regular zoning in exchange for a number of lower cost dedicated accessible units throughout the building that have covenants restricting them to tenants or owners (in the case of condos) with disability certificates.

This model has been successful in creating lower cost affordable and integrated housing for persons with disabilities.

However, it’s intended to function as an incentive, with accessible units designed in on each floor in exchange for more floors. It’s not a remediation.

On the blood products recipient end, we want to ensure safety and ethics in the products people need to live.

Unfortunately, donations are not adequate such that Canadian Blood Services buys blood products to make up the difference.

A significant portion of the product purchased and imported into Canada from the United States comes from incarcerated populations.

Paying Canadians for plasma donations is an arguably lesser harm than importing plasma and fractionated blood products from incarcerated persons in the United States.

A healthy adult should be able to make plasma donations very frequently. This raises questions about what was happening in that donation centre’s screening and drawing procedures.

In fact, there is a long history, when the blood supply was less reliable, where parents of children with bleeding disorders often donated plasma biweekly in order to make sure their children had a safe and timely supply of essential coagulation factors.

Ensuring that the donations are safe both for the person donating and the recipients is nonnegotiable. It’s also however essential that we have the blood products available for those who need them and not condemn those with inherited bleeding disorders to disability due to insufficient availability of fractionated products.

Then, since it sounds to be clear and recent, perhaps you could explore citizenship by descent in an EU country where you have a legitimate claim.

You might do better looking for an actual ancestor born or naturalized in Canada.

You may be surprised.

Concerns about equity for adopted persons were raised by senators when the bill was being studied in committee. They let C-3 go through due to the need to address Bjorkquist but asked the Minister to come back with further amendments in future.

There is a different form and process for adopted persons adopted outside of Canada. Current processing time is about two years.

It involves two steps:

1. Confirmation of parent’s Canadian citizenship, which when completed provides a digital identifier to be used in step two
2. Applicant provides the documentation of the adoption and original birth certificate.

The text on the linked IRCC page reads:

If you choose to apply for citizenship, there are 2 parts to the process:

Part 1: We check if the parent can pass on Canadian citizenship to their adopted child.

Part 2: We check if the adopted child can become a Canadian citizen. See:

Understand. Many of us are considering our dual citizenship options while they are available.

I can appreciate your concern.

Good luck. That should be fairly straightforward as you are only second generation descent.

No.

The 1095 day presence is a requirement should you wish to pass Canadian citizenship to a child born or adopted after December 15, 2025z

Long form birth certificates that name parents and marriage certificates to show name changes would cover it.

Baptismal certificates can be used when there’s no civil registration of births. Civil registration began very late in several provinces of Canada. There’s more likely to be an Anglican or Roman Catholic baptismal record regardless of being Indigenous.

You may be able to find ship manifests and landing records in Family Search or Ancestry. Those list nationality — you would be looking for her to be a British subject domiciled in Canada at the time she landed in Australia.

Your great grandmother’s death certificate may have information that could be useful, as they usually state the place of birth. Newspaper death notices and obituaries can also be helpful as supporting information.

Lastly Canadian and US census records can be used as supporting information.

There is no generational limit. However, a direct line of descent has to be documented back to an ancestor born or naturalized within the borders of what is now Canada.

Acadians in Louisiana have been successful in making claims back to the Le Grand Derangement / Expulsion by the British. They had meticulous records however.

It’s a concern the way the CPC MPs confabulated citizenship by descent with immigration during the committee hearings on the Bill.
