Become A Canadian Citizen With Confidence
Citizenship is the final step in your Canadian Journey. We make sure your application is complete, accurate, ready for approval with no surprises at the test, interview or ceremony.
The Last Step Deserves The Most Care
A citizenship application reviews your entire immigration history, from your travel records to your tax filings. A miscounted day, an undeclared trip or an old inconsistency can lead to delays, a hearing or a refusal. We review your full record before you apply, so your path to citizenship stays straightforward.
Common Reasons for Delays and Refusals
- Permanent Resident Status: You must be a permanent resident with no unfulfilled conditions on your status.
- Physical Presence: At least 1,095 days in Canada within the five years before you apply.
- Tax Filing: Income taxes filed for at least three of those five years, if you were required to file.
- Language: Applicants aged 18 to 54 must show English or French ability at CLB 4 or higher.
- Knowledge Test: Applicants aged 18 to 54 must pass the citizenship test on Canada’s history, values, institutions and symbols.
- No Prohibitions: Certain criminal charges, convictions or removal orders can prevent you from becoming a citizen.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are my physical presence days counted?
Each full day in Canada as a permanent resident counts as one day. Time spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person in the five-year period may count as a half day, up to 365 days. We calculate your days precisely before you apply.
Can I Apply if I am a few days short?
No. An application that does not meet the 1,095-day requirement on the day it is submitted can be refused. We recommend a safety margin above the minimum.
Do my children need to take the test?
No. Applicants under 18 and those 55 or older do not take the knowledge test or provide language proof.
Does my PR Card have to be valid when I apply?
You do not need a valid PR card to apply, but you must still hold permanent resident status. We check your status and renew your card where travel requires it.
Can I travel when my application is in process?
Yes, but you must remain eligible and attend your test, interview and ceremony when invited. Long absences can create complications, so speak with us before extended travel.
I was born outside Canada to a Canadian parent. Am I already a Citizen?
You may be. Canada’s citizenship-by-descent rules changed recently, and many people born abroad are now recognized as citizens. We assess your family history and help you apply for proof of citizenship.
Can I keep my current citizenship of another country?
Canada allows dual citizenship but some countries do not. Check other country rules before you apply.
Canada allows dual citizenship, but some countries do not. Check your home country’s rules before you apply.
Citizenship Already Refused or Delayed?
