Citizenship
Canadian Citizenship offers you the opportunity to live and work in Canada permanently and fully participate in Canadian society. With Canadian citizenship, you gain the right to vote in federal elections, hold a Canadian passport, and enjoy the privileges of being a Canadian citizen.
To be eligible for Canadian Citizenship, you must meet the following criteria as part of your Canadian Citizenship Application:
- Permanent Residency Status: You must be a Permanent Resident of Canada and not under any removal order.
- Residency Requirements: You need to have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) within the last 5 years before submitting your Canadian Citizenship Application. Time spent in Canada as both a Permanent Resident and a temporary resident can count towards this requirement.
- Language Proficiency: If you are between 18 and 54 years old at the time of your application, you will need to demonstrate sufficient proficiency in one of Canada’s official languages, either English or French.
- Knowledge of Canada: Applicants aged 18 to 54 are required to pass a test evaluating their knowledge of Canadian history, values, institutions, and symbols. This is an important part of the Canadian Citizenship Application process.
- No Criminal Record: You must not have a record of convictions involving indictable criminal offenses or engage in activities that might impact your application.
