Information On Acquiring Citizenship Canada

By Margaret Thompson


For those looking to become Canadian nationals, there are some requirements that they are required to meet. All individuals applying for residency status should have met all the conditions that have been set by the government. If looking to acquire citizenship Canada immigrant applicants should satisfy age, tax and language requirements.

In 2014, some changes were introduced to the immigration act. The changes, known as the fast process were designed to make it easier for people in the armed forces or those that have served in the local armed forces to become citizens. The length of time influences the process that an individual has served the country, rather than the period that he or she has lived within the state borders.

Age is the first criterion that is looked at when applying to be a resident. All applicants are must be be at least eighteen years of age. For children under eighteen years, one is must be able to prove that he or she is the parent, guardian or adoptive parent. One of the parents must also be a resident, or should have made an application to become a national.

Any person applying for permanent residency status must be able to meet certain conditions. For instance, the immigrant should not be under review for immigration or fraud reasons, and should also not be under a removal order from the country. It is not necessary for applicants to have the PR card, and those with expired cards can still submit their applications.

All immigrants looking to become nationals must have have lived in the country for a minimum of 1460 days, in the six years before the date of submission. The applicant should also be physically present for a minimum of 183 days for the four calendar years before submitting his or her application. However, these requirements do not apply to children that are under the age of eighteen years.

For those that have been working during their stay in the country, they should be able to show that they have filed their tax returns with the state. Income tax filing is another criterion that is considered when reviewing nationality applications. It is required that all applicants submit their income tax returns for four, of the 6 years that they have been living in the state.

When submitting the application, you should also declare your intentions to reside in the country as the application is being processed. Any individual looking to become a national should declare his or her intention to live within Canadian borders. It is also important to indicate an intention to work or live abroad as a crown servant.

All applicants must be able to prove that they can fluently communicate in at least one of the national national languages. Canada, like many other countries, has two official languages, English and French. The applicant should, therefore, be in a position to show that he or she can speak, understand simple communication terms as well as take part in an everyday conversation in at least one of the two national languages. It will involve showing that one can communicate with others without encountering any communication difficulties. It is important for the applicants to be able to easily communicate with others, or else they will not be able to get work, or hold basic conversations with other people. A person who does not meet this criteria will usually have his or her application to become a resident declined by the state.
