Description: This article discusses the case of Deepan Budlakoti, a Canadian-born man who was rendered stateless at age 22 due to a legal technicality exempting children of foreign diplomats from automatic citizenship. Using Actor-Network Theory, the article examines how legal documents, courts, and administrative networks combined to revoke his citizenship despite his Canadian birth and passports. The study situates Budlakoti’s experience within the broader trend of citizenship “securitization” in Canada, highlighting the social and material networks that produce statelessness.
