Here is some general information you should know about Canadian citizenship!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-canadian-citizenship-allow\">What does Canadian citizenship allow ?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To apply for Canadian citizenship, you must first have <a href=\"https:\/\/immetis.com\/en\/private-individuals\/permanent-residence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">permanent resident status<\/a> in the country. If you\u2019ve reached the citizenship stage, you already enjoy many rights in the land of the maple leaf. As a citizen, you retain all the rights you had as a Permanent Resident of Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The major change you\u2019ll experience as a citizen is <strong>the right to vote and participate in elections<\/strong>. As a Canadian citizen, you are allowed to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections. You are also eligible to run as a candidate in any of these elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada allows dual citizenship. So, if you apply for Canadian citizenship and your home country <strong>also allows dual citizenship<\/strong>, you can retain your original citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to start a family, citizenship can also be passed on to your children, whether they are born in Canada or not. If you are a Canadian citizen, your child will automatically be a citizen at birth. If the child is not born in Canada, at least one parent must be a Canadian citizen to pass on citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, citizenship does not need to be renewed and does not require you to be physically present in the country (unlike Permanent Residency). Citizenship therefore offers a more permanent and integrated status in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eligibility-criteria-for-canadian-citizenship\">Eligibility criteria for Canadian citizenship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Before submitting your application for Canadian citizenship, make sure you are eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The eligibility criteria, as defined by immigration authorities, are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Have lived in Canada for at least 3 out of the last 5 years, with at least two years as a permanent resident;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have been physically present in the country for 1,095 days in the 5 years preceding the application;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If applicable, have filed your income taxes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have language skills in French and\/or English;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not be under investigation for fraud or any legal proceedings, currently or in the past;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pass and succeed in the citizenship test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-citizenship-test\">The citizenship test<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Think you\u2019re eligible for Canadian citizenship? Congratulations! You can now <a href=\"https:\/\/immetis.com\/en\/contact-immigration-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">begin the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After submitting your application and once it is processed, you will need to pass the citizenship test. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate your knowledge of Canada and your ability to become a citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a citizen, you are expected to understand and uphold your rights and responsibilities in the country. You must, in a way, prove to Canada that you will represent the country appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-the-test-works\">How the test works<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The test consists of 20 questions and lasts 30 minutes. You may be asked multiple-choice and true\/false questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The test can be taken in writing or orally, in French or English. You pass if you answer at least 15 out of 20 questions correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-prepare-for-the-test\">What to prepare for the test<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be asked about various topics, such as Canadian history, economy, laws, symbols, government, and geography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To prepare, you will receive a free official study guide called Discover Canada. It is available in various formats to support your preparation. The test is based on this guide, so it contains all the necessary answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To take the test, you must bring official documents, including your passport(s), your test notice, your Permanent Resident card, two photo IDs, proof of your language skills in English or French, and any other documents requested in your test notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-ceremony\">The ceremony<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The final step and official confirmation of your citizenship is the citizenship ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you pass the test, you will typically be invited within three months to attend the citizenship ceremony. An immigration officer may contact you by email or phone. Stay alert so you don\u2019t miss your invitation. All applicants aged 14 and over must take the oath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the ceremony, you will affirm your present and future commitment to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is during this ceremony that you will be granted your rights and responsibilities as a Canadian citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the health crisis, ceremonies are still being held online rather than in person. You will be informed if your ceremony is to be held physically. Once you become a citizen, you are expected to contribute to Canada\u2019s strength and inclusion by being an active citizen. To honor your rights and responsibilities and engage with the community, you can participate in the country\u2019s democracy, welcome newcomers, or help protect the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to become a Canadian citizen and want support with the process? <em><strong>Don\u2019t hesitate to <a href=\"https:\/\/immetis.com\/en\/contact-immigration-experts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact our professionals<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was last updated on May 10, 2022<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citizenship is the most permanent status in Canada.
