Difference between revisions of "How to Apply for a Citizenship Grant (17:VI)"

A citizenship application has to be mailed in on the proper forms provided by the Department of Citizenship, Refugees and Immigration. The new forms are easy to understand and to complete. To order a citizenship application, phone the Citizenship, Refugees and Immigration Canada Call Centre or consult the website (see [[Governing Legislation and Resources on Citizenship (17:II)#B. Resources | Section II.B: Resources]]). All appropriate application forms and accompanying literature will be mailed directly to the applicant. In-person application assistance is not available from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

The Department of Citizenship and Immigration publishes ''Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship'', a book that gives general information regarding the right to vote in elections and run for elected office, voting procedures, and chief characteristics of Canadian physical and political geography. It will help the applicant answer questions in the written test he or she must take to become a citizen. This book is mailed to the applicant after the application for a citizenship grant has been received at the case processing centre.
