Under the new legislation, Canadian parents must show they have spent at least three years in Canada before the birth or adoption of their child to be eligible.

“I think it’s a reasonable limit to what is a substantial connection to Canada,” said Miller. “This is a reasonable approach to something that was unreasonable.”
The supreme court found that the old rule was unconstitutional as written. It didn't mean that the idea behind the rule was wrong.

Someone can live in Canada for 3 years, move back, and now their kids are automatically Canadians and recieve all the protections of a Canadian. That seems nuts. Ramp that 3 years up to 20, and we would be good, yeah?
