Eligibility:

To be eligible to become a Canadian Citizen as per Canada Immigration law , 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 citizenship test
  • Prove your language skills.

There are additional or different requirements if you are:

  • A current or former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member applying under the fast-track process
  • A past Canadian citizen who want your Canadian citizenship back (including current and former CAF members)

Spouses of Canadian citizens:

You don’t automatically become a citizen when you marry a Canadian. If you’re the spouse of a Canadian citizen, you must meet the same requirements listed above (no exception).

Time you’ve lived in Canada (physical presence):

  • You (and some minors, if applicable) 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.
  • We encourage you to apply with more than 1,095 days of living in Canada in case there’s a problem with the calculation.
  • In your calculation, you may be able to include some of the time you spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person outside Canada if you were a Crown servant or a family member of a Crown servant.
