REVOCATION OF NATURALIZATION; NATURALIZED CANADIANS HAVING SERVED IN ENEMY FORCES | |
|
3. The Secretary of State referred to a Cabinet decision of June 2nd, 1948, to the effect that the Immigration Branch should be instructed not to facilitate the readmission to Canada of naturalized Canadians having served in enemy forces. Each individual case had been reviewed under the provisions of the Immigration Act. In a few cases the Board of Review had felt unable to recommend revocation of the certificates of naturalization. It was suggested that naturalized Canadians falling within this category might be re‑admitted to Canada. 4. The Cabinet, after discussion, agreed that any case of a naturalized Canadian having served in enemy forces in respect of which a Board of Review had concluded that revocation of citizenship might not be justified be referred to the Department of External Affairs for examination and report. | |
