Canadian citizenship
application

Do you need help with your application?

No: a consultant is not required, and you can submit your application yourself. Support can still help you:

• check that the conditions are met before you apply;
• avoid omissions or inconsistencies, particularly in counting days of presence and in your address and travel history;
• organize your information and check your documents;
• understand the steps that follow filing.

According to IRCC, for an online application you create your own account and submit your application yourself: we handle the preparation, review and follow-up, depending on the mandate.

What we check

According to IRCC, for an adult, including:

• valid permanent resident status;
• at least 1,095 days (3 years) of physical presence in Canada during the 5 years before you apply;
• income tax filings for at least 3 of the last 5 years, when required;
• for ages 18 to 54: adequate knowledge of English or French (oral level 4 on the Canadian Language Benchmarks) and the citizenship test;
• no prohibition based on criminal or security grounds.

These rules can change: we check the conditions in force when you apply.

How we can help

Pro Immigration can help you:

• review your situation and your eligibility;
• check your physical presence and your information;
• prepare and check your documents;
• review the application before filing;
• follow the next steps: IRCC requests, test, oath.

We cannot guarantee that the application will be approved, or a processing time: the decision rests with IRCC.

After filing

IRCC processes the application and may ask for additional information. Depending on your age, you will take the citizenship test; all adults aged 18 and over then take the citizenship oath. Processing times vary from one file to another.
