Qualifications to Be a Canadian Citizen

The requirements to be a Canadian citizen are simple, however, the application process can be confusing and time-consuming.

The Canadian citizenship process requires that you have a status in Canada (i.e. permanent resident) and that you have been physically present in Canada for a minimum period of time.

To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must:

  • Be 18 years of age or older
  • Have held permanent resident status for at least 1,095 days (three years) in the five years before you apply. Time spent outside Canada during that time period has no impact on your eligibility.
  • Have been physically present in Canada for at least 183 days in each of four calendar years that are fully or partially within the five years immediately before the date you apply.
  • Have lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) in the 5 years before you apply.
