Every year over 200,00 people effectively become Permanent Residents. The process of obtaining permanent residency is complex. It is also in a state of constant change due to different foreign policy initiatives and modifications to regulations.
There are strict deadlines and mandatory filling requirements that must be undertaken to appeal negatives decisions.
If you have been a permanent resident for long enough, you might be ready to apply for Canadian citizenship. We can help you with your application for Citizenship and walk you through the process. If you think you might be a Canadian citizen because one of your parents or grandparents was a citizen at the time you were born, we can help you determine whether you have acquired citizenship by birth or not.
We can’t tell you exactly how long it will take to process your application. Each application is different and takes a different amount of time to process.
We can give you an estimate, based on your application type.
