失去公民身份與2009 年更新的加拿大移民法 (回答讀者提問)

Dear Mr. Lee:

讀來信, 得知兩位老人家身體不好, 為人子女, 自當以孝敬父母為重, 這不正是我們的古訓所說: “父母在, 不遠遊.”嗎？ 但現在年輕人能做到孝敬父母的已不多了, 您是例外, 願神加倍祝福您.

加拿大公民法自2009 年四月十七日, 又有了新的修訂, 為了維護 “加拿大價值”, 國會就修法簡化條文, 限制承襲公民身份, 只能衍生到第一代海外出生的公民子女, 換言之, 若祖父母是加 國公民卻不居住加國, 雖然他們不在加拿大出生的子女還可承襲加拿大國籍, 但此優惠卻不能傳到孫輩.

這新法的實施，與您三年不回加拿大無關，不會因此取消您的公民身份,　但與您的後代有關,  也與１９４７　年後在加國出生或入籍, 又失去國籍的人士有關，在此同時, 下列人士，將因新法而失去國籍：　

請教朱小姐關於移民加拿大

朱小姐您好：

有一移民加國之問題想請教您。

我本身尚在台灣唸大學(23歲)，為獨生女亦是單親家庭，唯一的母親(54歲)患有青光眼，無法工作並且因為眼力不佳，生活都需要有人照護，因為有很多親戚都已是加國公民，想為母親辦理依親，讓他去國外較有親戚可以照護，我可以心無旁鶩地專心繼續在台灣的學業，想請教您以下幾個問題：

1.我母親的媽媽(80歲)、母親的姐姐(60歲)，兩著均是加國公民，是否可以為我母親辦理依親？

2.母親的健康情形不佳(青光眼)，若申辦依親，成功率是否不大？

3.據我所查資料，移民申辦須先再加國住滿一年，想請問以我母親的情況而言，加國簽證最長可給多久時間？

謝謝朱小姐，真是感激不盡:)

questions regarding Immigration to Canada

Hi Daisy,

I have some question regarding immigration...

- I am a Canadian citizen (non-resident) living in Hong Kong since 2003, working as a software engineer. I have worked in Canada after graduation from UBC for 3.5 years.

- I will be getting married in Jan 2007 and we would like to move back to Canada after marriage. He is working as a system analyst for 7 years, have a Master degree from Hong Kong University.

We have 2 options:
1) Family Class Immigration
- But I need to show evidence of intention to move back to Canada, what kind of proof is needed? I do not have any property in Hong Kong or Canada. I am not going to study. We plan to stay in my parents' house when we move back, so we don't need to rent a home for that... Please help to clarify what other proof can serve the purpose??
- Can we move back to Canada after the immigration is approved or I have to go back and find a stable job (for income proof) before I can submit an application??

2) Skilled Worker Class Immigration
- What is the passing mark?
- How long does it usually takes?? Is it a lot longer than thru Family Class Immigration??
- But then we could move back together??

A million thanks advance for your valuable advise

Yours,
Jasmine

加拿大依親的小孩是否可以領牛奶金？

您好，

因為小孩是在台灣出生，現在要幫小孩辦依親過來加拿大，
因為依親的文件上面說，我們必須保證扶養她到18歲，不得領任何補助，所以有點疑惑，想請問一下，依親的小孩可以申請牛奶金嗎？謝謝！
