  2. Benefits of Canadian Citizenship Here we will tell you how to check eligibility for Canadian Citizenship. Over 85% of Canadian immigrants become citizens, one of the highest rates in the world.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recommends that you apply when you are in Canada for more than 1095 days.

  7. If you lived in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident, you can count some of that time toward your physical residency requirement. Every day spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person during the past five years can be counted as a half day.
