Citizenship Application
Canadian citizenship grants individuals the full rights and privileges of living and working in Canada as well as the ability to participate fully in Canadian society. Citizenship provides several benefits, including the right to vote, run for political office, obtain a Canadian passport, and access social benefits available to Canadian citizens. The path to Canadian citizenship involves meeting specific residency requirements, demonstrating language proficiency, and passing a citizenship test.
