Burmese Citizenship

CIVIL-RIGHT: Information on the basis for Myanmar's citizenship law has not been provided. Marrying a Burmese citizen and sponsoring a family in Canada is a complex process. The word Rohingya is particularly burdensome for the Burmese government. Their Myanmar citizenship is denied and they are stateless people today. In the last fifty years, the Burmese government has refused to recognise the Rohingya.
