Canadian Citizenship
Canadians are proud of their citizenship and the status, rights, and freedoms that it provides.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC, formerly CIC) is the federal department that manages Canadian citizenship, both for those applying for citizenship and for current Canadian citizens. Since 2010, Canada has welcomed an average of more than 260,000 permanent residents each year. Many of these newcomers are in the process of becoming Canadian citizens, and many more will apply for Canadian citizenship in the future. When that process is complete, they take loyalty oaths pledging their commitment to the responsibilities and privileges of Canadian citizenship.
What qualifies you to be a Canadian citizen?
To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must:
✔ 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.
