To become a Canadian citizen, most applicants must

• • be a permanent resident.
  • have lived in Canada for at least 3 out of the last 5 years (1,095 days).
  • have filed taxes, if you need to.
  • pass a citizenship test.
  • prove your language skills in English or French.

♦ You need to provide photocopies of each document that need to be submitted with the citizenship application.

♦ Provide the Record of Landing or ideal proof of Permanent Residence in Canada in any of its Provinces, such as an address, house number, etc.

♦ Valid Permanent Resident Card.

♦ Photocopies of biographical pages of the passport or any other travel documents which show the applicant information, the documents should be valid and should cover at least six years from the issued date of the document.

♦ Two original passport size photos of an applicant.

♦ Original Police Certificate with no illegal remarks from each country in which the applicant was present for at least 183 days.

♦ Applicants aged between 14 and 64 years must be proficient in English or French.

♦ If the applicant is physically disabled then the photocopy of proof for a disability should be submitted to the government with the citizenship application, which should be valid.

♦ All applicants aged between 14 and 65 years must pass a written or oral knowledge test about the Canadian values, culture, symbols, rights, and duties of a citizen.

♦ You must have been physically in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) during the 5 years before the date you sign your application.

♦ You must have permanent resident status (PR) in Canada, you must not have unfulfilled conditions associated with that status, and your PR status must not be in question.

• To be eligible, your need to enter or stay in Canada must outweigh the health or safety risks to the Canadian society, and this is determined by an immigration or a border services officer. Even if the reason you’re inadmissible seems minor, you must demonstrate that your visit is justified.

  There is no guarantee that you’ll be issued a temporary resident permit.

• If your application has been denied or rejected, you may be able to appeal to review your case. The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) hears appeals on immigration-related matters, including sponsorships, removal orders and residency obligations.
