Get Proof You Are a Canadian Citizen
If you are already a Canadian citizen, then you need your citizenship certificate to get your Canadian passport which will allow you to move to Canada to live, work, and study.
There are several ways to become a Canadian citizen:
- Through descent from your parents – if either one of your parents was a Canadian citizen at the time you were born, you are already a Canadian citizen and only need to apply for proof
-
- Through descent from your Grandparent or Great Grandparents – if either one of your Grandparents or Great Grandparents was a Canadian citizen at the time you were born, you can now apply thanks to the new Bill C-3 that is in motion and the special interim measures in place.
- Through naturalization – if you immigrated to Canada and applied for citizenship, then you became a Canadian citizen when you took the oath of citizenship
- Through birth in Canada – all people born in Canada are Canadian citizens
