Two underaged teens immigrated to Canada with their parents from China, 16-year-old Zhuo Chen and 12-year-old Nuo Chen, applied for citizenship indipendently and got approval. Their application had been refused one year ago when they submitted together with their parents. The teens’ application was successfully approved and they attended the naturalization ceremony for swearing yesterday noon at the Citizens Court. This is a successful application for the naturalization of the underaged brothers and sisters. They became the beneficiary of the C-6 amendment of the Nationality Law proposed by the Chinese Canadian Senator Beard in April 2017. The applicant must be at least 18 years old. The requirement is that children who have no parents or guardians, or children whose parents are unable or unwilling to apply, have the right to apply for naturalization. On June 13, 2017, the Canadian Senate approved the federal Nationality Law C-6 Amendment Act by adopting a proposal of 214 votes and 92 votes against the proposal of Beard. And become the official law after the Governor’s signature.
