What Is Canadian Citizenship?

Canadian citizenship gives you the full rights and privileges of being a Canadian, including the ability to vote, apply for a Canadian passport, and live permanently in Canada without immigration restrictions.

Becoming a citizen is an important milestone for many permanent residents who want to fully establish their future in Canada.

If your situation is straightforward, we help you prepare confidently. If there are complications, we identify them early and explain what must be addressed before applying.
