Citizenship

Canadian

Obtaining Canadian citizenship involves a process that allows permanent residents to become full-fledged citizens of Canada. To be eligible, applicants must have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for a specified period, typically at least 1,095 days out of the last five years before applying. They must also have filed their taxes for at least three years within that five-year period, have demonstrated adequate knowledge of English or French, and passed a citizenship test on Canadian history and values. Additionally, citizenship applicants must not be under removal orders or subject to criminal prohibitions. The application process includes completing and submitting the appropriate citizenship forms, providing supporting documentation, and attending a citizenship test and interview if required. Once the application is approved, successful applicants take the Oath of Citizenship, officially becoming Canadian citizens. This process is open to permanent residents who meet the eligibility criteria, helping them fully integrate into Canadian society and enjoy the benefits of being a Canadian citizen.
