Citizenship Application:
Canadian Citizenship is the final step of a long journey you started years ago. After you are approved to come to Canada as a Permanent Resident (landed immigrant) and have lived in Canada for a period of 3 years within the past 5 years, you may qualify to become a Canadian citizen. Those who have lived in Canada prior to their landing date may qualify for a credit of time and shorten their waiting period.
Once you become a full citizen, you are able to vote, hold office and get jobs that are reserved only for citizens, and travel for long periods of time, with the ability to always be able to come home to Canada.
