Getting Started

Below is some basic information about applying for Canadian citizenship. Please note this is a very general overview of requirements and is NOT a complete or comprehensive list. For a complete list of requirements, please contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada. (http://www.cic.gc.ca/)

Eligibility

To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must satisfy the following conditions:

If you have served in the Canadian Armed Forces, you may be able to apply through a fast-track process.

Age

You must be at least 18 years old. For a child under 18:

you must be the child’s parent, adoptive parent or legal guardian,

the child must be a permanent resident, and

one parent must be a Canadian citizen or apply to become a citizen at the same time (this also applies to adoptive parents).

Permanent Resident Status

You must have permanent resident (PR) status in Canada. Your PR status must not be in question. That means you must not be:

under review for immigration or fraud reasons

You do not need to have a PR card to apply for citizenship. If your PR card has expired, you can still apply for citizenship.

Time you have lived in Canada

You must have resided in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before you apply. This does not apply to children under 18.

You may be able to count time spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident, if it was during the past four years.

English and French are Canada’s two official languages. You must be able to speak one of the two official languages to apply. You must be able to:

Use English or French in everyday conversations about common topics

understand simple instructions, questions and directions

use basic grammar, including simple structures and tenses

answer questions and express yourself.

A citizenship officer will interview you, and will assess your language skills during the interview.

You cannot become a citizen if you:

have been convicted of, or are currently charged with a criminal offence or an offence under the Citizenship Act in the last three years

are in prison, on parole or probation

are under a removal order

Knowledge of Canada

To become a citizen, you must understand the rights, responsibilities and privileges of citizenship, such as voting in elections and obeying the law. You must also show you understand Canada’s,

history

values

institutions

Your Responsibilities

In Canada, the rights of citizenship comes with responsibilities.

As a Canadian Citizen, you must:

Obey the law — One of Canada’s founding principles is the rule of law. No person or group are above the law.

Take responsibility for yourself and your family — Finding a job taking care of your family are important Canadian values.

Jury duty — As a Canadian citizen, you are legally required to serve on a jury.

Voting — Voting is a responsibility of all citizens, to help make our democracy function effectively.

Protecting and enjoying Canadian heritage and the environment — Every citizen has a role to play
