---- quote start

Eligibility criteria are broadened, allowing “philanthropists” and “technologists” to be eligible along with individuals deemed to have made an exceptional contribution or service in fields including sports, science, art, culture and entrepreneurship, and “job creation” is explicitly included as an example of “exceptional contribution.”

Notably, the proposed amendments would also give the minister responsible greater leeway in deciding who can be granted citizenship by merit.
