Canada - Limiting consular aid
Print Edition
The government has been urged to limit consular services for dual citizens who travel on a foreign passport or who live outside Canada for long periods, a report said Tuesday. The proposal was described in briefings prepared for Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and Trade Minister Ed Fast.
“Recent (international) crises have highlighted that many Canadian passport holders have limited connection to Canada (and) are seen by some as maintaining a ‘citizenship of convenience,’” the document was quoted as saying.
It also reportedly notes that consular officials had been asked to help Canadian citizens in 50 international crises in 36 countries in 15 months.
