CARICOM / OECS free movement (sub-citizenship status)

Example scenarios

• Free movement and labour-market access available — but it does NOT confer Grenadian nationality.

  The Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (CARICOM Single Market) grant Grenadians and member-state nationals free-movement and skilled-national rights WITHOUT conferring Grenadian nationality (GD-BIL-01: sub-citizenship status; pathway_to_nationality = false). The Trinidadian can live and work in Grenada under free movement, but to acquire nationality he must use a Grenadian nationality route — e.g., s.5 Commonwealth registration after 5 years (Trinidad and Tobago is Commonwealth) or s.7 naturalisation.

• CARICOM/OECS status confers movement and economic rights only; it preserves her Grenadian nationality and confers no separate CARICOM nationality or passport.

  GD-BIL-01 is treaty_rights, sub-citizenship status: rights_conferred = movement freedom, labour-market access, economic rights; preserves_original_nationality = true; pathway_to_nationality = false. There is no 'CARICOM citizenship' as a nationality — the treaties confer enforceable free-movement/skilled-national rights, not a passport or naturalisation pathway.

• Residence accrued under free movement can count toward the s.5 Commonwealth registration 5-year residence test (Barbados is Commonwealth) — but the nationality comes from s.5, not from the treaty itself.

  Free movement (GD-BIL-01) is the lawful basis for the residence, but it does not itself lead to nationality. The actual nationality route is Cap 54 s.5 (Commonwealth/Irish registration after 5 years' residence). A Barbadian is a Commonwealth citizen, so the 5 years of free-movement residence supports a s.5 registration application (EC$250). The treaty supplies residence rights; s.5 supplies the citizenship.

• No — CARICOM (CSME) free movement confers movement, labour-market and economic rights only, not political/citizenship rights such as voting; those require Grenadian nationality.

  GD-BIL-01's rights_conferred are movement freedom, labour-market access, and economic rights — it is sub-citizenship status that does NOT confer nationality (pathway_to_nationality false). Political rights like voting attach to Grenadian citizenship/registration on the electoral roll, not to treaty free-movement status. The Trinidadian would need to acquire Grenadian citizenship (e.g., s.5 Commonwealth registration after 5 years) to gain such rights.
