Canadian Citizens

Canadians realized it. but as the

iautomatically became, for the firs; time. lull-fledged Canadian citi. zens. _

At that time tihe Canadian Citi- zenship Act. passed at the last ses-

iest Dominion Day. July 1, (some

‘into farce. It gave Canadians the legal right to call themselves Can- adian citizens.

Previous legislation described -permanen-t residents of the domin- ion simply as British subjects. Thelr passports. naturalization. pap- ers and similar documents describ- edthem in this way.

Now the new act is in force. resi- dents ot Canada are not only Can- wadlans but also British subjects.

Citizenship certificates, which in the next week will be given to handfuls of Canadians in ceremon- ies throughout the country. may be obtained from the citizenship branch of the secretary of state de- perfmont for a $5 fee. The docu- merits, which serve no particular "ilefui purpose. and ere to be issued primarily as souvenirs merely set out the new status of the holder as e. Canadian citiaen.

The new status applies to all native-berm Canadians. British stibjocf-s domiciled in Canada, brid- ee o! Canadian servicemen. and all those who now possess naturaliz- ation cemflcatce.
