Canadian Citizenship

A qualified lawyer will review each applicant's skills and qualifications in assessing whether the applicant meets the requirements for Canadian citizenship.

Canadian citizenship comes with significant benefits. Each year, over 170,000 people apply for Canadian citizenship. Becoming a citizen offers rights and privileges in one of the finest countries in the world.

- proof of language skills
- knowledge of Canada and of rights and responsibilities
- proof that no criminal charges or actions by the immigration department are pending against the applicant
