From Immigrant to Citizen in a Multicultural Country
Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2018, Volume 6, Issue 3, Pages 229–236 DOI: 10.17645/si.v6i3.1523 Article Passing the Test? From Immigrant to Citizen in a Multicultural Country Elke Winter Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ottawa, Ottawa, ON K1N 6N5, Canada; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 3 April 2018 | Accepted: 15 May 2018 | Published: 30 August 2018 Abstract Almost all Western countries have recently implemented restrictive changes to their citizenship law and engaged in heated debates about what it takes to become “one of us”. This article examines the naturalization process in Canada, a country that derives almost two thirds of its population growth from immigration, and where citizenship uptake is currently in decline. Drawing on interviews with recently naturalized Canadians, I argue that the current naturalization regime fails to deliver on the promise to put “Canadians by choice” at par with “Canadians by birth”. Specifically, the naturalization process constructs social and cultural boundaries at two levels: the new citizens interviewed for this study felt that the nat- uralization process differentiated them along the lines of class and education more than it discriminated on ethnocultural or racial grounds. A first boundary is thus created between those who have the skills to easily “pass the test” and those who do not. This finding speaks to the strength and appeal of Canada’s multicultural middle-class nation-building project. Nevertheless, the interviewees also highlighted that the naturalization process artificially constructed (some) immigrants as culturally different and inferior. A second boundary is thus constructed to differentiate between “real Canadians” and others. -
Taking Foreign Country's Citizenship No Longer Represents Automatic Basis
TAKING FOREIGN COUNTRY’S CITIZENSHIP NO LONGER REPRESENTS AUTOMATIC BASIS FOR LOSING GEORGIAN CITIZENSHIP In July 2018, Parliament of Georgia passed amendments to the Law on Georgian Citizenship, which changed the rules and conditions of granting citizenship, mostly in a positive way. LAW, INITIATOR Law: On Amendments to the Organic Law of Georgia on Georgian Citizenship Initiator:Legal Issues Committee Author: Working Group on Harmonization of the Legislation with the Constitution operating under the Legal Issues Committee ESSENCE OF THE LAW In October 2017, in accordance with the amendments made to the Constitution, important issues related to citizenship fell under the new regulation: • Taking a foreign country’s citizenship no longer represents an automatic basis for losing Georgian citizenship; • The conditions for retaining Georgian citizenship in the event of taking another country’s citizenship have been defined; • Eligibility criteria for granting citizenship have been changed; • The conditions have been defined for granting citizenship by rule of exception; • The rules of applying for citizenship, application review process and appealing against the decision made have been changed. At the same time, the Georgian citizens who were granted another country’s citizenship but no decision was made on stripping them of their Georgian citizenship prior to 15 August 2018, have the right to apply, in the course of one year starting from 15 August 2015, to the [Public Service Development] Agency with the request to retain their Georgian citizenship. 1.

Naturalized U.S. Citizens: Proving Your Child's Citizenship
Fact Sheet Naturalized U.S. Citizens: Proving Your Child’s Citizenship If you got your U.S. citizenship and you are a parent, your non-citizen children also become citizens in some cases. This is called “derived” citizenship. BUT you still need to get documents like a certificate of citizenship or a passport, to PROVE that your child is a citizen. This fact sheet will tell you the ways to get these documents. This fact sheet does not give information about the process of getting documents to prove citizenship for children born in the U.S., children born outside the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents, or children adopted by U.S. citizens. This fact sheet talks about forms found on the internet. If you don’t have a computer, you can use one at any public library. You can also call the agency mentioned and ask them to send you the form. When a parent becomes a citizen, are the children automatically citizens? The child may be a U.S. citizen if ALL these things are, or were, true at the same time: 1. The child is under 18 years old. 2. The child is a legal permanent resident of the U.S. (has a green card) 3. At least one of the parents is a U.S. citizen by birth or naturalization. If that parent is the father but not married to the other parent, talk to an immigration lawyer. 4. The citizen parent is the biological parent of the child or has legally adopted the child. -

The Social Security Number: Legal Developments Affecting Its Collection, Disclosure, and Confidentiality
Order Code RL30318 The Social Security Number: Legal Developments Affecting Its Collection, Disclosure, and Confidentiality Updated February 21, 2008 Kathleen S. Swendiman Legislative Attorney American Law Division The Social Security Number: Legal Developments Affecting Its Collection, Disclosure, and Confidentiality Summary While the social security number (SSN) was first introduced as a device for keeping track of contributions to the Social Security system, its use has been expanded by government entities and the private sector to keep track of many other government and private sector records. Use of the social security number as a federal government identifier was based on Executive Order 9393, issued by President Franklin Roosevelt. Beginning in the 1960s, federal agencies started adopting the social security number as a governmental identifier, and its use for keeping track of government records, on both the federal and state levels, greatly increased. Section 7 of the Privacy Act of 1974 limits compulsory divulgence of the social security number by government entities. While the Privacy Act does provide some limits on the use of the social security number by state and federal entities, exceptions provided in that statute and succeeding statutes have resulted in only minimal restrictions on governmental usage of the social security number. Constitutional challenges to social security number collection and dissemination have, for the most part, been unsuccessful. Private sector use of the social security number is widespread and continues to be largely unregulated by the federal government. The chronology in this report provides a list of federal developments affecting use of the social security number, including federal regulation of the number, as well as specific authorizations, restrictions, and fraud provisions concerning its use. -

Once proof of application has been provided, do not deny, delay or discontinue benefits pending receipt of the SSN.

The household must report what actions have been taken to obtain the required verifications to apply for an SSN at redetermination/recertification. The SSN application must be completed as soon as verifications are received. Expedited service – Applicants eligible for expedited service may participate the first month without providing or applying for an SSN. Excluded Persons: Non-qualified non-citizens are not required to provide or apply for an SSN.
