Citizenship
Once you are a Permanent Resident of Canada and you have resided in Canada for the required number of days, you may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship. Your days of physical presence in Canada must be clear and not subject to confusion. Should your application be approved, you will be called in to take a citizenship test and finally, take the citizenship oath. Once you have obtained Canadian citizenship, you will be able to apply for a Canadian passport.
