How to apply for Canadian Citizenship?
In this blog, we will discuss how one can qualify to apply for Canadian Citizenship. We will make it easy for our readers to know the requirements. Also, we will discuss how the requirements can be skipped to qualify for the citizenship.
Eligibility Requirements:
Before you could apply for Canadian citizenship, you have to become a permanent resident of Canada. Spending three (3) years in Canada is one of the requirements to qualify for Canadian citizenship. However, someone who has spent three (3) years in Canada on a temporary residence is not qualified to get Canadian citizenship.
You have to be living in Canada for three (3) years on permanent resident status to meet the requirements for Canadian Citizenship. To be eligible to become a Canadian Citizen you:
*Must be a permanent resident of Canada
*Need to live in Canada for three (3) years out of the last five (5) years
*Have to pass the citizenship test (if applicable)
*Also, you need to posses an adequate level of English or French language skills
* You must also make sure that you have filed taxes while living in Canada
Now we will discuss the exemption to the rules above. The Canadian government has amended the rules for a certain age group that has the right to apply for Citizenship.
Become a Canadian Citizen without meeting any requirements:
The exemption can be applied to anyone who falls under a specific age category. Being above the age of (fifty) 55, can give you exemption from the language and citizenship exam requirements. However, you are still expected to appear for an interview as you must meet other requirements of Canadian citizenship.
