Requirements For Citizenship Canada Application

    The Citizenship Act of 2014 simplified applications for anyone seeking citizenship in Canada. It simplified the requirements and fast tracked acquisition of this status. It opened citizenship Canada to those who served in the army, those who have resided in Canada long enough and those serving the country abroad. Foreigners recruited into the army have an easier time gaining residency.

    Any applicant must have attained the age of 18 years to be eligible. However, a person below 18 years can have his or her application done by an adoptive parent, a citizen or legal guardian. The child on whose behalf the application is made should have met all the conditions of permanent residency. Parents and guardians whose applications are pending can also apply on behalf of their children.

    Any applicant only qualifies if he or she has acquired permanent residency. Your application or status should be unquestioned meaning that you have met all basic requirements. Persons under immigration review or facing fraud questions are however treated differently during application. Failure to fulfill PR conditions or being ordered to depart the country by an immigration official will affect your application. The PR card is always demanded but an expired one will still be accepted as long as it is clean.

    Any applicant must have lived within the boarders for 1460 days in the six years under review. In case your review is covering four years, you need to have resided physically for 183 days of each year. This rule however exempts applicants below 18 years and persons working for the country or crown abroad. All calculations are made from the date of acquiring permanent residence.

    Immigration department works closely with the tax department before approving new citizens. There are tax obligations that permanent residents must meet. Before being approved as a citizen, your tax records must be clean. The records checked cover both a four year and six year partial period depending on the details provided during application.

    You are required to clearly state your residency intentions during application. As such, it should be clear that you intend to live or work within the country or work abroad for the country or crown family member. Successful applicants acquire the right to enter, leave or live within the boarders at will. These are the same rights enjoyed by native citizens. This explains why the process of application is so stringent.

    Language is a crucial determinant of eligibility. French and English are considered the two official languages used by Canadians. Any applicant must be tested of fluency in one of the two languages. The officials will test your ability to engage in daily conversations easily, take instructions, receive orders and answer questions. Your understanding of directions will also be tested. The officials also test your grammar, tenses and vocabulary.

    There are rights as well as obligations enjoyed and demanded of every Canadian citizen. The rights mainly regard election participation. You will be tested on the history, symbols, values and institutions that govern Canada. Some tests will be oral while others are written. Conviction for crimes, charges or investigations will compromise your application.
