How to Apply for Canadian Citizenship Application

[@mohammedosman88]

Congratulations on applying. I applied back in August 2021 and just waiting for now- I used the online application.

[@TineInCanada]

Oh wow! Lucky you! I wish we’re also eligible for the online application, it’s more convenient! Have you taken your citizenship exam? Good luck!

[@TineInCanada]

@@basesabasesa8660 yes!

[@kalaphonic6]

Hi there, I want to apply online too.... I have some questions... Do I need to have a printer? Can I use Windows 7 or has to be windos 10 for the application? Where I can get the proof that I speak and understand English? If someone can help me please, I'll very grateful!🙏🙂

[@sapphiregarden5]

Can I use my ontatio health card(green card) for one piece of identification because I do not have a drivers license

[@TineInCanada]

I don’t think so, you may use your passport for identification purposes instead.

[@katrinaharata]

Did you create a new account for the citizenship? or is it the same account as when you applied for PR?

[@TineInCanada]

It’s a new account for the citizenship I think

Hey could you let me know if you attached the receipt for each adult and child or did you attach one receipt for the whole envelope? Thank you!

Hello Kabayan! Did you have to provide a photocopy of all the pages of your passport even there was no travel in the last five years? or just the bio page? Thank you!

[@TineInCanada]

Yes, all passport pages 😊

My 19 year old child has a BC health card with no photo. Can she use that and just sign the back of the card?

My PR will expire next year Feb , and I am going to apply for my citizenship soon, do I have to renew my PR while my citizenship will be on process ?

[@TineInCanada]

I suggest you renew your PR, the citizenship process is quite tedious and unpredictable so you better be safe to have your PR renewed. We will also do the same in case we don’t hear anything from the immigration.

[@sapphiregarden5]

How long is the process takes? Is exam questions straightforward?

[@stacyreden7411]

Hi. do I have to photocopy ALL the pages of my passport? and Do i need police clearance? I havent out of canada for 5 years.. sallamat thank you

[@TineInCanada]

Yes, it’s both required. Thanks

[@sapphiregarden5]

hi there, does citizenship worth it? How's process, how long it usually takes, is it no citizenship no passport? How much would it cost usually? When Is it okay to apply? What are things are looking for? Is the exam that's all? Does it worth if meaning giving up the prior nationality ?

[@fariajerin7636]

[@TineInCanada]

Yes, our IELTS was also expired but has also been accepted. Better double check IRCC just to make sure. Tnx

For example if someone left Canada 1st Jan 2022 and reached another country 3rd of January 2022. How we can fill the address for 2nd Jan because that day was in plane. But system doesn't accept it if we did not mention anything for 2nd Jan. Please advise

As of today (Sept 16, 2022) if you have been out of Canada in the last 4 years for more than 183 days then you need a PCC.

Hi new Sub here, counted po ba yung years na hinde pa Pr? Wala pang one Yr na Pr sa Canada, pero in total almost 4 years na po na nasa Canada. Pwede na po ba mag apply for Canadian citizenship or aantayin muna na maka 5 years?

[@TineInCanada]

Thank you. It should be PR status, counted lang po those days that you were physically present here in Canada. Kaya pag may travel abroad, you need to declare it too.

[@elvinzeynalov9519]

or applying online, the applicant should be physically present inside of Canada or on vacation can submit an application. thanks anybody has experience please share with me, thanks

[@TineInCanada]

You can apply online even you’re not in Canada. I think it’s the citizenship test that requires you to be physically present here in Canada.

Hi, so can you please help me with this. Do we have to stay in Canada after applying for citizenship? After finishing the eligibility days and applying can I go to my home country or can I go to a different country for work?

[@TineInCanada]

I think there are a lot of Canadians who had done that. I know some who went to US or UAE to secure work. I think that’s possible though you have to check how it will impact your filing of tax here in Canada. You can check the immigration for further information. Tnx.

[@Undertheauroraborealis]

You have to maintain your PR status in Canada while waiting for you citizenship.

Yung IELTS Ba po need na Canada talaga.. I have IELTS kasi 2015 pa but for UK

[@TineInCanada]

Yes, it’s a requirement. It’s okay to submit an expired one but you should double check if the UK IELTS is acceptable too.

[@basesabasesa8660]

Can you please talk about the processing time

[@TineInCanada]

Hello! The total processing time is within 12 months from the time you submitted your application but due to the pandemic, there are lots of backlogs which caused some application delays.

[@palakush7650]

It is now 27 months on their website

[@mandywilliams8153]

Hello, if English and French was submitted during PR application, will u also be required both or u can write anyone when it’s time to apply for citizenship

[@TineInCanada]

That’s a very good question. You need to submit both language assessment when you file your application. For the exam, I think you have an option which language mode you would like to take. But I strongly suggest to check it with IRCC. Thanks

Bawal ba mag apply ng citizenship na may bankruptcy ka permanent residence ako

[@TineInCanada]

It involves a complete background check kaya mas ok if your record is clear. What do you mean bankruptcy? Is it a business that you had here in Canada? If you have a justifiable reason baka maging ok din naman ang application mo.
