Ok....most of the Canadian Lebanesse that live in Lebanon, were born in Lebanon. There are not that many people born in Canada that are living in Lebanon. Beside...as I said...if you were born in Canada, I agree you cannot have your citizenship revoked.

I guess... I'm not really all that concerned, if they become Canadian citizens, thats what they are. The law is that it cannot be taken away except for specific circumstances that I've posted in this thread. Once you've 'earned' it, its yours for life, no exceptions (except those posted above). I don't see the real issue... you're better off residing here than pretty much anywhere else in the world, if they choose to go back to their first country of origin and live there while maintaining their citizenship I don't see the big hangup. Are we constantly bailing these people out of disaster after disaster at incredible cost to Canada? Not really...

Good lord man...thats what we are talking about. We are talking about changing the law...how hard is that to understand. We are not debating the current law. Look at the first sentence of my post. "There
needs to be a residency requirment to retain ones citizenship for those who have naturalized to Canada." Do I say anywhere there
IS.
