In addition to the information provided in
response 2198 dealing with the subject the Consulate of Kuwait in
Ottawa, as communicated to the IRBDC by telephone on 15 June 1990,
stated that migrant workers and their descendants (regardless of
whether they are born and raised in Kuwait) are not granted
citizenship, but have residence permits which are valid as long as
the person or head of family has a job and a sponsor.
Regarding the two classes of citizenship
explained in the response to information request 2198, the
Consulate explained that the "second class citizenship" is not
actually considered citizenship, but consists of being recognized
as a Kuwaiti without the right to vote.

IRBDC.
