    one of the highest rates in the world.

    permanent residents apply for Canadian
    citizenship every year.
  • You must be a permanent resident to apply for
    Canadian citizenship. Your Permanent Residence
    (PR) card does not have to be valid at the time
    of your application, you can also apply with an
    expired PR card. Permanent resident status means

2. Canadas physical presence requirements
  • Before applying for Canadian citizenship, you
    must have lived in Canada for at least three
    years (1095 days) in the past five years.
    Children under the age of 18 must also have
    permanent resident status, but do not have to
    meet the three-year requirement.
  • Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
    (IRCC) recommends that you apply when you are in
    Canada for more than 1095 days.

  • If you lived in Canada as a temporary resident or
    protected person before becoming a permanent
    resident, you can count some of that time toward
    your physical residency requirement. Every day
    spent in Canada as a temporary resident or
    protected person during the past five years can
    be counted as a half day.
  • You can use up to 365 days as a temporary
    resident or protected person to satisfy your
    physical presence requirement.

3. File your taxes (if necessary)
  • If it applies to you, you may have to file your
    taxes in Canada for at least three years out of
    the five years prior to filing your Canadian
    citizenship application. Even if you have only
    lived in Canada for part of a year, you may need
    to file a tax return if

    date you signed your Canadian citizenship
    application, you must take the Canadian
    citizenship test. The test is 30 minutes long and
    includes multiple choice and true/false
    questions. You can take the test in English or
    French. The minimum score is 15 out of 20.
  • The test asks questions about Canadians' rights
    and responsibilities, Canada's history,
    geography, economy, government, laws and symbols.

5. Language skills
  • Individuals aged 18 to 54 must also
    demonstrate proficiency in English or French at
    Level 4 or higher on the Canadian Language
    Benchmark (CLB). IRCC assesses your language
    skills in various ways, such as
  • Check the evidence you have submitted to prove
    your language proficiency.
  • IRCC can determine how well you communicated with
    citizenship officials during the application
    process.
