PR CARD RENEWAL & CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Getting the Canadian PR is the first step towards obtaining the citizenship in Canada.  Canada has the highest rate of naturalization in the world – 85% of eligible permanent residents become citizens.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is the federal department that manages Canadian citizenship, both for those applying for citizenship and for current Canadian citizens. Before you submit a Canadian citizenship application, you must satisfy several IRCC requirements.

MINIMUM REQUIRMENTS

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 their taxes
  • pass a citizenship test
  • prove their language skills in English or French

 IRCC may return your application as incomplete, if you do not send acceptable proof that you have met residence requirements or have adequate knowledge of English or French. So, given the long application processing times, it is critical to avoid any errors that can cause further delays or in some cases refusals.

 

After you submit the citizenship application, the final step will be taking Canadian citizenship test. Once you pass the test, and you are approved as a Canadian citizen, you will receive an invitation to a citizenship ceremony.

 If you have any questions, you can book consultation to speak with immigration consultant in Toronto.
