RESUMPTION OF CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP

---

Resuming Canadian citizenship is a process that allows former citizens to regain their status.
WHAT IS RESUMPTION OF CITIZENSHIP ?
Resuming citizenship allows a person who has previously renounced or lost their Canadian citizenship for other reasons to regain it. This usually involves submitting a new application.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible for reinstatement of citizenship, you must:

1. Have previously held Canadian citizenship.
2. Have become a permanent resident of Canada after losing your Canadian citizenship.
3. Meet all the conditions attached to your permanent resident status.
4. Have been physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for at least 365 days in the two years preceding your application.
5. Have met your obligation to file an income tax return for the taxation year preceding the one in which your application is submitted.

STEPS TO APPLY FOR RESUMPTION
Step 1: Complete the application.
Step 2: Prepare the necessary documents.
You will need to provide several documents, including:

• Proof of identity: Photocopies of identity documents (passport, driver's license, etc.).
• Previous citizenship certificate: If available, provide a copy of your previous certificate.
• Proof of your Permanent Resident status and other documents that prove you live in Canada, such as utility bills or bank statements.
• Photos: Two recent photos that meet passport photo requirements.

Step 3: Pay the Fee

• The processing fee must be paid at the time of application submission. Check the current amount on the IRCC website and keep a copy of the receipt.

Step 4: Submit the Application
Step 5: Wait for the Decision

• Once the application is submitted, you will receive an acknowledgement of receipt.
• It may take several months to process your application. During this time, IRCC may contact you to request additional information.

Step 6: Receiving the decision

• If your application is approved, you will receive an invitation to a citizenship ceremony, where you will take the oath of citizenship.
• You will then receive your citizenship certificate.
