Having a Canadian citizenship is the next pace for an immigrant that is developing in Canada, to make the strong connection that he has developed with the nation that seize him to fulfill his dreams. In the subsequent lines, we will discuss about everything relating to an refugee to be able to achieve Canadian citizenship.


As you perhaps already recognize , the specified position to an immigrant is of a lasting resident, this situation offers the immigrant the same rights that any other Canadian resident has, with an exclusion of the right to elect and the obtaining of the Canadian passport. The access to these rights is obtained through the request of the Canadian citizenship. The first thing is to know the necessities; and it must be completely apparent that a resident refugee must remain for three years before requesting the citizenship to the Canadian government. Here is a list of the main requirements:


- Permanent citizenship (must have reside in Canada 1095 days in the four years before the beginning of the process)
- 18 years old and beyond .
- Can speak English or French easily.
- agree before an immigration judge an evaluation about knowledge about the nation (history, geography, politics, government, economy, etc) and an adequacy test of one of the certified languages.
- Show that you are aware of the obligations and rights of the society.


When the procedure finishes, the immigration judge is the accountable of giving the applier the Canadian Citizenship Certificate. The correct instigate of the procedure requires the subsequent papers:


- A replica of the Canadian Permanent Residency Card Status Proof (PR Card, demanded since 2004)
- A replica of the citizenship request.
- 2 passport size photos, taken in a period of time of no more than 12 months, according to what was told by the Canadian Citizenship & Immigration Ministry.
- disburse a check for $ 200 to the Canadian Receiver General ($ 100 for the application process and $ 100 for the citizen right)
- A duplicate of two identification documents (for example: your driver's license or the health service card of the place in which the applier lives)

When the process finishes, the immigration judge is the in charge of providing the applier the Canadian Citizenship Certificate. When an settler gets the citizenship, some things alter for him or her, for example:

- Been a Canadian citizen gives you the right of entering, remaining (reside) and leaving Canada whenever you desire to. According to the Canadian constitution act.
- A Canadian citizen cannot be acquitted. And admission to all the political rights particularized in the constitution, such as voting and been elected.
- More options to access to a federal government job.
- The obtained commitments are: respect to the Queen (UK's queen), knowing Canadian laws and fulfill the obligations of a Canadian national.
