More changes will be implemented for Canadian citizenship applicants! The second half of the changes to Canadian Citizenship will come into effect tomorrow, October 11, 2017. These changes will include the following: 1) Applicants will now need to be physically present in Canada for only 3 years out of five years before applying for citizenship 2) Applicants will no longer need to be in Canada for 183 days in each of the qualifying years. In other words, the number of days i...n each year that the applicant is present in Canada will no longer matter, as long as the cumulative number of days present equals three years in the last five years. 3) Applicants who were temporary residents in Canada before receiving permanent residence will be able to use half the amount of time they were in Canada as a temporary resident (up to a maximum of one year) as part of their 3 year total. 4) The age range for language and knowledge testing will go back to the previous age range, which is between 18 and 54 years old. 5) Applicants will need to file income taxes for at least three out of the last five years to qualify for Citizenship. Contact us at 1-613-386-3337 or email us at [email protected] to inquire about a consultation regarding Citizenship or other immigration issues!
