Citizenship

Your Journey to Success Starts Here

In Canada, citizenship by birth is automatically conferred to individuals born on Canadian soil. This principle, known as “jus soli,” grants Canadian citizenship to anyone born within the country’s borders, regardless of their parents’ citizenship or nationality. However, Citizenship by naturalization is the process by which foreign nationals can become Canadian citizens. To qualify for citizenship through naturalization, individuals must meet specific eligibility criteria:

You must be a permanent resident of Canada. This means you have been granted the right to live in Canada indefinitely.
You need to have lived in Canada for a specified amount of time. Typically, this means being physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days out of the last 5 years before applying.
You must have filed your taxes for at least 3 years within the 5-year period if required under the Income Tax Act.
If you are between the ages of 18 and 54, you need to demonstrate adequate knowledge of English or French. This language requirement is crucial for your application.

How the process Works:

Applicants for Canadian citizenship have the option to submit their applications through either an online or paper-based process. Additionally, certain important steps in the citizenship acquisition journey include:

Application Submission:
- Applicants can choose to submit their citizenship applications either online or through traditional paper-based methods.
Police Clearances and RCMP Fingerprints:
- As part of the application process, applicants are required to provide police clearances and, in some cases, RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) fingerprints. These documents are essential for verifying the applicant’s background and criminality.
Canadian Citizenship Test:
- One of the crucial milestones in the journey to Canadian citizenship is the citizenship test. To pass this test, applicants need to correctly answer at least 15 out of 20 questions. The test assesses their knowledge of Canadian history, values, institutions, and symbols.
Oath of Citizenship:
- If the applicant is at least 14 years old and their application is approved, they will be invited to participate in the citizenship ceremony. During this ceremony, they will take the Oath of Citizenship, officially becoming a Canadian citizen.

It’s essential to keep in mind that the processing times and requirements for Canadian citizenship can vary based on individual circumstances. Therefore, it’s crucial to stay informed and check the most up-to-date information on the official IRCC website. Additionally, if you have specific questions or unique circumstances, consulting with immigration professionals can be beneficial.
