Abstract
Migration from a Third World country to a First World country involves loss of many citizenship rights given in the home country. Though the Canadian government has liberalized its immigration policy, there are no sufficient citizenship rights for Third World women immigrants in Canada. Modern citizenship is a variable which is subject to gendered and racialized discourses, state intervention and global realities.
