    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Does a permanent resident have to apply for Canadian citizenship as soon as he or she is eligible?

      No, there is no obligation to apply for Canadian citizenship at any time.

    • What are some of the advantages of obtaining Canadian citizenship?

      Unlike Canadian permanent residents, Canadian citizens have no residency obligations. Canadian citizens cannot lose their status unless it was obtained through material misrepresentation. Canadian citizens also receive Canadian passports and are entitled to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections.

    • Is a Canadian citizen eligible to work in the US, Mexico, or Chile?

      Under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Canada-Chile Free Trade Agreement (CCFTA), qualified Canadian citizens can benefit from facilitated admission into the US, Mexico and Chile for business- and work-related purposes.

    • If citizenship is revoked, how can a new Canadian citizenship be obtained?

      Depending on when and for what reason citizenship was revoked, it may be possible to re-apply for Canadian citizenship. For complicated citizenship problems like these, it is best to have a consultation.

    • If someone was a Canadian citizen as a child but has not lived in Canada for many years, does he or she qualify as a citizen?

      Anyone born in Canada is most likely a Canadian citizen. Anyone unsure of his or her Canadian citizenship can contact IRCC and request a search for citizenship records, and obtain new citizenship documents.

      • Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law.
