Recent changes to Canada’s citizenship rules under Bill C-3 have expanded citizenship by descent, but they have also raised new questions about how citizenship claims are proven.

Since June 2026, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has been reviewing some citizenship certificates issued under Bill C-3, with particular scrutiny on the documents used to establish family relationships and Canadian citizenship. Some individuals have received “clawback letters” asking them to surrender their certificates while their files are reviewed.

Importantly, a clawback letter is not a final decision revoking citizenship, and alternative evidence may still be considered where official records are unavailable.

For advice on citizenship or other immigration matters, contact a member of McDougall Gauley LLP’s Immigration team.

The Ontario Court of Appeal has provided important guidance for employers in Wigdor v. Facebook Canada Ltd., 2026 ONCA 572.

The Court awarded former Facebook employee Dr. Daniel Wigdor more than US$4.7 million for Restricted Share Units (RSUs) that would have vested during his notice period, in addition to 10 months of common law notice damages.

The decision highlights the importance of ensuring termination and compensation agreements comply with statutory notice requirements. In particular, the Court found that language providing for continued RSU vesting only where “explicitly required by applicable legislation” did not protect the RSUs during the statutory notice period.

The decision also highlights the importance of properly accounting for an employee’s prior service when entering into employment agreements following a business acquisition.

While the statutory requirements differ between jurisdictions, Saskatchewan employers should also be mindful of the continuing employment provisions under The Saskatchewan Employment Act.

The Ontario Court of Appeal has provided important guidance on the interpretation and enforceability of termination clauses in employment agreements in Baker v. Van Dolder’s Home Team Inc., 2026 ONCA 568.

The Court considered whether language such as “at any time” and “for any reason” could render termination provisions unenforceable under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000. The Court rejected a purely literal interpretation, emphasizing that termination provisions must be read as part of the employment agreement as a whole.

The decision reinforces two key points for employers:

(1) Broad termination language does not automatically invalidate an otherwise compliant termination provision simply because it could, when read in isolation, produce an unlawful result.

(2) Employment agreements must preserve employees’ statutory minimum entitlements, and courts will consider the agreement as a whole when determining the parties’ objective intention.

While the decision arises from Ontario legislation, its guidance on contractual interpretation may have implications in other jurisdictions, including Saskatchewan. Employers should carefully review their termination provisions to ensure they clearly preserve applicable statutory minimums.

For guidance on employment agreements, termination provisions, or other workplace matters, contact a member of McDougall Gauley LLP’s Labour and Employment team.
