Canadian citizenship
Canadian citizenship is a separate process from immigration, with its own eligibility rules, application and test. Every requirement on this site is linked to its IRCC source instead of being paraphrased from memory.
Official steps
Official study material
The test is based on the official study guide, which is free and published by the Government of Canada:
Residency requirements, language and knowledge requirements and fees are set by IRCC and can change. Confirm them on the official pages before preparing an application.
A practical way to organise your research
- First identify your situation in the official citizenship portal. Applying for citizenship and preparing for a test are different steps.
- Make a list of the documents and instructions applicable to your application. Confirm current requirements, fees and deadlines directly with IRCC.
- If preparing for the test, organise your study around the official guide. HiCanadian does not offer an eligibility decision or an official exam.
