How long does it take for Canadian immigrants to become naturalized?

Canadian naturalization refers to applying for Canadian citizenship, giving up one's original citizenship, becoming a Canadian citizen, holding a Canadian passport, holding a Canadian identity card and enjoying all the rights of a Canadian citizen. According to the current immigration law in Canada, after becoming a permanent resident, you are eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship if you have lived for three years within five years.

First, Canada naturalization time calculation method:

1. Five years from the date when the applicant applies for naturalization.

2. The time spent as a non-permanent resident in Canada can be calculated. The calculation method is to calculate half a day every 1 day, and the upper limit of two years for non-permanent residents is converted into 1 year.

3. After the applicant becomes a permanent resident, the actual residence time of the applicant in Canada can be included in the calculation, subject to the entry and exit stamp on the passport.

4. As long as the above naturalization conditions are met, you can apply for naturalization in the first five years.

Second, the conditions for applying for naturalization:

Minors under 1 and 18 can apply for citizenship without the assistance of their parents. /kloc-permanent residents under the age of 0/8 can apply for citizenship independently of their parents. Even if parents are rejected when applying for citizenship, minor children can still apply, without waiting until 18 years old.

2. The applicant must have Canadian permanent resident status, which must fully meet the requirements, and cannot be in the immigration review period, can not conceal deception, and can not be in the expulsion and repatriation period (the Canadian government officially informs you to leave the country). If the maple leaf card has expired when applying for naturalization, you can still apply.

3. Adult applicants must have lived in Canada for 65,438+0,095 days (3 years) in the five years before the application, and need not live in Canada for more than 65,438+0,83 days in each natural year.

4. The applicant must have a 3-year tax return record within 5 years before the application.

5. Adult applicants must declare their intention to stay in Canada after naturalization and fulfill their personal income tax obligations.

6. Applicants aged between 18 and 54 must have basic knowledge and language skills and take the naturalization test.

Extended reading: two key points in the registration of new immigrants in Canada

1. Routine review by the Immigration Bureau.

2. Customs baggage declaration form. Generally speaking, it takes longer to declare your luggage at the customs than at the immigration office, unless the new immigrants suffer from diseases that have an impact on Canadian society, their marital status changes or commit major criminal cases (if you have the above situation, please consult your professional immigration consultant first).

Therefore, before you leave, it is necessary for you to know more about Canadian customs regulations, such as the declaration procedures for carry-on luggage and jewelry, and the baggage list that needs to be delivered. If you are not familiar with the living environment and consumption pattern in Canada, we must strongly advise you to assume that you will ship all the articles you are currently using to Canada in the future, and prepare a complete "baggage declaration form" in duplicate before departure, so as to reserve future shipping opportunities and ensure your tax-free rights. Moreover, a complete baggage declaration form can also be used to prove to the Canadian government that you really have the intention to settle in Canada.

At the same time, don't forget to avoid wearing too gorgeous and dazzling jewelry or diamond-encrusted watches when reporting for duty.
