e-Filing
Provisions for electronic submissions have also been introduced allowing for speedy and efficient processing of applications
Amendments
- Section 9 has been updated to allow Cabinet, on the minister’s recommendation, to designate Special Projects. These projects may temporarily adjust or discount financial contributions for citizenship and each designation must clearly outline its purpose, discount details, limits, and requirements. Importantly, due diligence fees remain fixed to protect the integrity of the screening process.
- A new Section 30 is created to provide a full legal recognition for electronic documents, signatures and certifications that are treated the same as written or hard copy fillings. This means seals and approvals can be authenticated electronically, and applications or notices can be lodged through approved systems—speeding up processing by the Program Office.
- A new Section 31 grants Cabinet the authority to make regulations necessary for the effective implementation of the Act notably the system and process of applications.
