Overview
Permanent residents who meet the requirements can apply for Canadian citizenship. The application checks how long you have lived in Canada, your language ability, your tax filings, where those apply, and that nothing else stands in the way.
Most of our time on citizenship files goes into the details: counting days of physical presence accurately, completing the forms and listing absences. If a procedural fairness letter arrives, we help you read it and answer it properly. If a file is delayed, we review where it stands and explain your options.

Common questions
The main test is time spent in Canada, together with language ability and, where it applies, tax filings. We go through the dates with you and say whether you appear to meet them.
Read it carefully and note the deadline. The letter explains the concern and gives you a chance to respond. We help you prepare a clear reply with the right documents.
Files move at different speeds. We review where yours stands and explain your options before you decide what to do next.
No consultant can promise an outcome. Final decisions on applications are made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
