Citizenship

Canadian Citizenship Applications

Becoming a Canadian citizen is a significant milestone for newcomers who wish to make Canada their permanent home. Citizenship provides not only security and stability but also the full rights and responsibilities of being Canadian—such as the ability to vote, obtain a Canadian passport, and pass citizenship on to future generations.

Eligibility for Citizenship
To qualify, most applicants must:

• Be a permanent resident of Canada.
• Have lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) within the last 5 years before applying.
• Meet the income tax filing obligations (if required under the Income Tax Act).
• Demonstrate adequate knowledge of English or French (for applicants aged 18–54).
• Pass the citizenship test on Canadian history, values, institutions, and symbols (ages 18–54).
• Not be under a removal order, immigration investigation, or serious criminal charges.

Benefits of Citizenship

• Right to Vote and Run for Office – Participate fully in Canada’s democratic process.
• Canadian Passport – Travel with one of the world’s most respected passports.
• No Residency Obligation – Unlike permanent residents, citizens do not have to meet residency requirements to keep their status.
• Security for the Future – Citizenship is permanent and cannot be lost by living abroad.
