"Lost Canadians " are people born outside of the country to Canadian parents who were also born in another country.

In 2009 , the Conservative federal government changed the law so that Canadians who were born abroad could not pass down their citizenship.

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice ruled in late 2023 that the law was unconstitutional.

The government has received three extensions to the deadline to pass legislation extending citizenship to those affected by the law.
