You’ve earned your place in Canada. We help permanent residents navigate the final step to Canadian citizenship with clarity and confidence.

Canadian citizenship is the final step in your immigration journey. It provides you with a Canadian passport, the right to vote, and full participation in Canadian society.

At Slipacoff Immigration Law, we help permanent residents understand citizenship requirements, prepare their applications, and navigate the process successfully.

You’re eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship if you:

• Are a permanent resident of Canada
• Have lived in Canada for at least 3 years (1,095 days) in the past 5 years
• Have filed taxes in Canada for at least 3 years (if required)
• Meet language requirements (English or French at CLB 4 level minimum)
• Pass a citizenship test on Canadian history, values, and institutions (not required if you’re under 18 or over 65)
• Are admissible (no serious criminal or security issues)

We verify you meet all requirements: permanent resident status, physical presence in Canada, tax filing history, and language ability. We also check for any admissibility issues that might affect your application.

We help you gather required documents: birth certificate, passport, permanent resident card, travel history, tax documents, and language test results (if required). We prepare a detailed checklist.

We prepare your citizenship application accurately, ensuring all forms are completed correctly and all documents are included. We review the complete application for completeness and accuracy before submission.

If you’re required to take the citizenship test, we help you prepare. We provide study materials, practice questions, and guidance on what to expect.

We submit your application and monitor its progress. Processing typically takes 4-12 months. Once approved, we advise on the citizenship ceremony and next steps.
