Canadian Citizenship
Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant Based In Mississauga, Canada & Vadodara, India
To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must meet the conditions in all these areas: age, permanent resident status, time you have lived in Canada, income tax filing, intent to reside in Canada, language abilities and how well you know Canada.
Canada’s immigration policies have changed a lot in recent years. People born in Canada can be considered Canadian citizens, regardless of their parent’s citizenship or legal status. Under new laws that became effective in 2009 and 2015, people born outside Canada are Canadian citizens if either parent was born in Canada or naturalized in Canada. This law applies only to the first generation born abroad. In most cases, this law is retroactive, indicating that some persons who had lost citizenship under previous law became Canadian citizens.
The Canadian citizenship application process is long, but it’s worth all your hard work to become an official citizen. First off, you must pass a test on basic knowledge about Canada and its history; this ensures that not only will future generations learn from these valuable lessons-you’ll have something they can count too! When the application is approved, they are prepared to attend a citizenship ceremony where they will be asked to pledge their allegiance. Afterward, the person becomes a Canadian citizen.
An individual can get Canadian citizenship by birth or by naturalization. Canadian citizenship provides specific rights and privileges, including the following:
- Right to obtain a Canadian passport
- Eligible to reside and work in Canada
- Eligible to be outside Canada for any period without loss of status
- Right to vote in Canadian elections and to contest to run for office
