Canadian Citizenship

WHY BECOME A CANADIAN CITIZEN?

As a permanent resident (PR) in Canada, you enjoy many of the benefits that Canadian citizens have. You can work and study anywhere in Canada, you have access to health care coverage, and you contribute to all levels of government by paying taxes. However, as a PR you are not able to vote or run for political positions, and there are employment restrictions, as you are unable to hold some high-security roles.

REQUIREMENTS FOR BECOMING A CANADIAN CITIZEN

To become a Canadian citizen, you must

  • be a permanent resident

  • have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years

  • have filed your taxes, if you need to

  • pass a test on your rights, responsibilities and knowledge of Canada (If you are between 18 and 54 )

  • prove your language skills
