In http://www.immlawbymoses.com/citizenship.htm I found that the proposed new Citizenchip Act, (Bill C-63 - died with the recent elections) would "provide for the loss of citizenship to all family members "acquiring" their citizenship through a fraudulent prinicipal applicant."
Is it mean that the CURRENT Canadian Citizenship Act doesn't provide a retroactive revocation of citizenship?
Note that the current Law uses the term CEASE and not ANNUL when refers to revocation.
In my modest opinion the term CEASE means an "ex nunc" effect (effects begins on the revocation date) instead of ANNUL which would be "ex tunc" ( retroactive effects, i.e., retrocedes to the beginning of citizenship process).
Any inputs? Lawyers?

Doris
