Difference between revisions of "Citizenship Grants: How to Become a Canadian Citizen (17:V)"

NOTE: The Residence Calculator on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website is currently accepted by IRCC as a method for calculating presence in Canada. Applicants can print off the results of the calculator and include them with their citizenship application.

NOTE: If the individual is between the ages of 18 and 54, they are required to send proof of their ability to speak and listen in English or French in the citizenship application. Examples of acceptable documents that satisfy this requirement are the results of IRCC-approved third-party tests; transcripts or diploma from a secondary or post-secondary education in English or French, in Canada or abroad; evidence of achieving Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB)/Niveau de compétence linguistique canadien (NCLC) (http://www.language.ca/) level 4 or higher in certain government-funded language training programs. The full list of acceptable documents can be found on the IRCC website.  

NOTE: If an applicant studied at a post-secondary program in English or French in or outside Canada, they do not need to write a language test; they can submit their diploma, transcript, or certificate with their citizenship application.
