Become a Canadian Citizen

With status as a Canadian Citizen you are entitled to live, work, and go to school in Canada, carry a Canadian passport, and leave Canada for an unlimited amount of time with the ability to return.

Timeline: How long does it take?
A Canadian Citizenship application is currently supposed to take 12 months. However, in our experience it often takes much longer. Currently, Citizenship and Immigration Canada pledges to have the backlog of old applications done within 2 years or by March 2016, whichever is sooner. Applications can be expedited, but only under emergency circumstances.
Citizenship applications take longer for applicants who receive the Residence Questionnaire, for people who have to re-schedule or re-take the test, and for people who have to re-schedule the Oath. These so-called “non-routine” applications take an average of 36 months.

Common questions
Canadian Citizenship entitles you to certain rights you do not have as a permanent resident, such as voting in elections and using a Canadian passport.
Canadian Citizenship cannot be revoked except under very special circumstances, whereas you can lose your Permanent Residence by travelling too much.
Applying for citizenship is a long process because Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) wants to ensure you are serious about becoming Canadian.
The language requirements are there to make sure you will do well in Canadian society. The residence requirement is there to make sure you have been living in Canada as a Permanent Resident. The citizenship test is there to make sure you have learned about Canada since you landed.
You will need to prove to CIC that you have met the residence requirements, or your application may be abandoned or rejected.
IMMIgroup can help you respond to this questionnaire.
