Rejected petition Introduce freedom of movement between the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

The UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand share the same head of state, the same common-law legal system, the same western culture, the same respect for democracy and even the same language. We therefore propose free movement being reintroduced for the benefit of our citizens.

More details

Through a mutual travel arrangement, British, Australian, Canadian and New Zealand citizens can benefit from opportunities afforded to them by living and working in each others' countries, thereby strengthening our Commonwealth ties and diplomatic relationships for the future.

More information regarding the free movement of citizens between the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand can be found via the Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation's website:
