Qualify for Canadian Citizenship-But what are the Criteria???

After getting temporary resident status, people move to PR (Permanent Resident) status, hence aiming their journeys towards Citizenship. But in the midst of all this, they must understand the fulfillment of those major points which would ease out their path that ends at their ultimate aim – Canadian Citizenship! However, the case and situation may need additional mandates which may go beyond these points too. So, always keep the company of an immigration and visa expert by the side. First, let us skim through these essential mandates:

Know about the country in detail!

It becomes critical to know about the country you are planning to gain Citizenship of! What are your rights and responsibilities as a Citizen? What are the values and institutions decked with the history and culture of Canada? And so on… Perform a detailed analysis on the same and keep yourself updated with these facets on a continuous level. Remember, it’s a gradual process… therefore, don’t limit your capabilities to learn about Canada every moment.

Live in Canada

Most important is to live in Canada for a minimum of three years over a span of four years. Sometimes, applicants fail to get Citizenship even if they fulfill this mandate, and it is here where the guidance from a Canadian immigration specialist comes in.

Language Requirement

It is expected out of prospective Canadian citizenship applicants to have knowledge of English or French for them to communicate on a daily basis, express themselves in interviews, and clear their doubts with local and Canadian authorities and so on…

Clear Background

Applicants applying for Canadian citizenship must have a clear record (no criminal background within the last three years of applying for the citizenship), must not be in jail/probation or parole.

Must be aged 18 or Above

Age requirement should be to be 18 or more than that. However, parents are entitled to apply for citizenship for their children while applying for themselves.

Documentation

The application form must be attired with all the documents required in the process of gaining a Canadian Citizenship. Assistance from a “Canadian Documentation specialist” would ensure that the applicant submit their documents in the right manner.

Oath of Citizenship

After meeting all the requirements, approval of application form and clearing all the tests, the applicants would be informed the date and venue where they are entitled to take their OATH OF CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP.
