(Chester, Nova Scotia - March 21, 2011) - A Nova Scotia man who came to Canada in June 1946 with his war bride mother has made a complaint of family status discrimination against the Department of Citizenship and Immigration (CIM).
Ian Munroe's complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission is the first of its kind in Canada and points to a controversial section of the Citizenship Act which allows for discrimination against war bride children who were born out of wedlock overseas during World War Two.
