Same problem all over the world, although the smaller Countries like Denmark have been abused by all including the European Common Market, it used to be a Country of strong health agenda's, like no cans allowed for drinks because of the aluminium content, although they were forced into defeat by the European laws. Immigration and refugee rights is another very abused area, the hard work done by Danish people was destroyed within 10 years of refugees, arriving, I personally rejected more and insisted the commune wasn't big enough to take more, although those in charge needed to keep their positions, it was either take them or close down.jdaniel wrote:the reason they did this is because a whole bunch of refugees came to canada stayed received their citizenships and decided to return to their now stabilized warn torn countires and when hell broke loose again canada had to send ships to ferry them back because they were canadians...after that one experience haha the gravy train ended... i think you all know which country I am refering to.... Lebanon..... so sadly for those true blue Canadians who just happen to be out of the country at the time etc... have to make arrangements to have your kid in canada if you want to retain canadian citizenship or follow whatever procedures to retain it.
why do we want a bunch of lebanese who have never seen canada have the luxury and protection Canadians have earned.
Spot on mate! I couldn't have put it in better words. I also completely second my fellow Canadian batgirl_cdn.ksl wrote:Same problem all over the world, although the smaller Countries like Denmark have been abused by all including the European Common Market, it used to be a Country of strong health agenda's, like no cans allowed for drinks because of the aluminium content, although they were forced into defeat by the European laws.

The whole framework was abused and the whole Country suffered because of that abuse. WHY because too many cooks spoil the broth!
Singapore is the perfect example of leadership for any Country, providing it looks after its own people first and it does in most cases, of course there are always those that cannot be pleased, and that's just tough luck. There are many things that get up my nose too in Singapore but what i see around me, is growth, not deterioration, that has got to be the most positive aspect for any Country, and they deserve it, because it is well managed, like it or not!
Citizenship by right of descent through the first generation has long been a right under British law. I am a British citizen because my father was born in Liverpool and emigrated to Canada... yes, I am Canadian as well by birth.jdaniel wrote:why do we want a bunch of lebanese who have never seen canada have the luxury and protection Canadians have earned.
Thats whats happen to us. My Father is British, born in the UK, I just so happened to be born in Japan but have a British passport. My wife (British citizen ) and I were about to have our kid in Singapore when we discovered if our kid was born outside of the UK she would not be entitled to British citizenship because I was not born in the UK. We had to make an emergency dash to the UK to give birth so our kid would have a British passport. If we stayed here even Singapore would not have given her a Singapore Passport so she would have been know as a person born without a state.carteki wrote:What the UK have done is said that children of people born there can be citizens, but not the 3rd generation. There is an exception. If the child lives there for more than 7 years then they can be "naturalised" and their children (whether born in UK or not) will have the right to citizenship.
Here is an interesting question... What happens to the grand-children of expats who are not born in a country that allows them to take the local nationality? For example - Gen 1 give birth to kids (Gen 2) in a country where naturalisation is difficult to obtain. Gen 2 kids like the country so much they stay there after "leaving the nest" and have their children (Gen 3) there. What nationality are those children?
