Six Requirements for Canadian Immigrants' Naturalization

# Canada Immigration # Introduction In many global happiness index rankings, Canada ranks first. Not to mention how good the environment and air are, social welfare and world-class universities alone are envied by many people. There is nothing below to introduce the requirements for Canadian immigrants to become naturalized. Welcome to read!

Article 1 Requirements for Canadian immigrants to become naturalized

I. Permanent Resident Status Regardless of the age of the applicant, if you intend to apply for naturalization, you must have legal permanent resident status in Canada, that is, you must have a PR Maple Leaf Card. One thing should be noted: even after the legally obtained maple leaf card expires, the applicant can still apply for naturalization.

Second, the length of residence in Canada.

Regardless of the age of the applicant, the applicant must have actually lived in Canada for at least three years in the five years before the date of submitting the naturalization application. In addition, before the applicant becomes a permanent resident of Canada, the time spent in Canada as a temporary resident or a protected person can be converted into 50% of the residence time, and the longest time can be converted into 1 year. In other words, international students who have completed their studies in Canada are eligible to apply for naturalization as long as they have lived in Canada for two years after obtaining a maple leaf card.

Three. Personal income tax declaration

Regardless of the age of the applicant, according to the requirements of the income tax law, all or part of the individual income tax declaration obligations must be completed within five years and three tax years before the date of applying for naturalization.

Fourth, language requirements.

To become a Canadian citizen, the applicant must be able to listen and speak in either of the two official Canadian languages (English and French). The naturalization interviewer will judge the applicant's language listening and speaking level through the interview and finally decide whether to approve the applicant's naturalization as a Canadian citizen.

Verb (short for verb) Know Canada.

To become a Canadian citizen, applicants need to take a naturalization test to meet the knowledge level requirements of Canadian citizens. The applicant will answer a total of 20 questions in the test, covering Canada's history and political system, etc.

Prohibition clause of intransitive verbs

If an applicant commits a crime in or outside Canada and is convicted within four years before applying for naturalization, he is not eligible to become a Canadian citizen.

Extended reading: the misunderstanding of Canadian immigrants

1: You must have a job invitation to come to Canada, and immigrants must have jobs.

There are four ways to come to Canada: visitors (including traveling, visiting relatives, business visits, etc. ), study abroad, work, and immigrate. You don't need a job invitation to log in to Canada directly with a work visa. Some immigration projects are aimed at attracting scarce talents in professional fields and require specific professional experience and background. However, there are many immigration programs in Canada that do not require job invitations and work experience. For example, PEQ immigrants studying in Quebec can immigrate as long as they graduate from a school recognized by Quebec and obtain French B2, and they do not need work experience.

You can come to Canada without any language foundation.

Having a certain language foundation can not only make your life in Canada more convenient, but most economic immigration programs in Canada require language test scores to be within the validity period (IELTS test, CELPIP test or TEF test, etc.). Therefore, although having a language foundation without any language scores is attractive and your scores can be low, it is recommended to have test scores.

3. The provincial nomination immigration plan will limit your residence.

Canada has ten provinces and three regions, and each province and region has its own provincial nominated immigration program (PNP). Each province determines the qualification requirements of PNP and the application conditions of candidates, but no matter which province's provincial nomination plan, it will eventually obtain permanent resident status in Canada. According to the Constitution, Canadian citizens and permanent residents have the right to move freely, and you can live and work freely anywhere in Canada.

Family, friends or distant relatives can vouch for your coming to Canada.

Family reunion is a major category of Canadian immigrants, but only certain relatives can apply for family reunion, including Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are eligible to reunite with their spouses, cohabiting partners or couples, children under the age of 22, or their parents and grandparents. Brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends or any other kind of relatives are not allowed to handle family reunion unless it is extremely rare.
