Original Note:
This is not quite correct. The law applies to Canadian citizens born abroad looking to pass on citizenship to their kids. The law does require the parent to have had a physical presence in Canada for 3 years prior to birth but the parent would have been a citizen from birth. https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/canada-to-extend-citizenship-to-children-born-abroad-restoring-rights-of-lost-canadians/article_38935f14-188a-11ef-a99b-af21d9578b5e.html#tncms-source=login
