Applying for Canadian citizenship

The adult application, the certificate application, and the two checklists the department publishes for them.

A permanent resident applying to become a citizen, or somebody who already is one and needs proof of it. Those are different applications.

  1. The adult application

    Over two hundred fields, most of them dates and addresses covering several years without gaps.

  2. Proof you are already a citizen

    A citizenship certificate is what people mean by a citizenship card. It is an entirely separate application from the one above.

  3. The checklists

    One for each of the two applications, published by the department.

  4. If someone is representing you

    The representative form is the same one used across IRCC applications.

Worth knowing

The residence calculation on the adult application is the part people get wrong, and it is a calculation about your own history rather than something a form-filling service can supply. We type what you tell us.

Fill in the copy you have

Already downloaded it? Bring that file and we'll fill it in. It works the same for a form nobody publishes: a benefits enrolment, an employer's payroll form, anything with boxes in it.
