CitizenshipBack

Permanent residents of Canada may apply for Canadian citizenship after residing in Canada for a minimum legally-specified period of time which is at least 1095 days during 5 years before the date of Application. This manner of obtaining citizenship is referred to as “naturalization”. The children of naturalized Canadian citizens will also automatically obtain citizenship even if they are born abroad. For Applicants between the age limits of 18-54 years language proficiency proof about listening and Speaking of either English or French will be required apart from appearing in a test of geography and other information relating to rights, responsibilities and privileges of Citizenship. Canada allows dual citizenship, so those permanent residents who obtain Canadian citizenship can also keep their original citizenship, provided that the laws of the other country also allow dual citizenship.
