​Becoming a Canadian Citizen

Picture
There are three preliminary requirements to attain citizenship:
  • You must be 18 or older (children younger than age 18 may become citizens, but they do not have to meet the same requirements as adults)
  • You must have lived in Canada for at least three of the four years immediately before you apply for citizenship
  • You must be able to speak either English or French.
  • Once you meet these requirements, you send an application form (available on the Citizenship and Immigration website, or through its call centre) to begin the citizenship process.
You will need to take a citizenship test about Canada’s history, political system and geography. Citizenship and Immigration Canada will send you a book to help you prepare
 
To learn more, contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada Toll-free, 1-888-242-2100, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. (in Canada only) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-test.asp
 
A brochure about how to apply for citizenship is available at: www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/become-how.asp
