If the court finds citizenship was obtained through false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances the Minister may prepare a report to the Governor in Council recommending that citizenship be revoked.

The text of the report is disclosed to the person concerned, who has the opportunity to make written submissions.

If the Governor in Council decides to revoke citizenship, it is carried out by an Order-in-Council.

The person who is the subject of the Order-in-Council has the right to have the Federal Court judicially review the GIC’s decision.
