Canada Citizenship 要件 2026
Permanent residents aged 18 or older who have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) during the 5 years immediately before applying, have filed Canadian income taxes for any 3 of those 5 years (if required to under the Income Tax Act), can demonstrate adequate knowledge of English or French at Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) Level 4 or higher (applicants 18–54 only), and can pass the citizenship knowledge test on Canada's history, values, institutions, and symbols (also 18–54 only). Minor children (under 18) of a Canadian citizen or applying parent can be included via Form CIT 0003 and are exempt from the test, language proof, and oath (under 14 also skip the ceremony). Dual citizenship is permitted — Canada has allowed multiple citizenships since 1977, so you do not need to renounce your other nationality, though your other country may have its own restrictions.

申請場所
Online via the IRCC Secure Account / online citizenship application portal (citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca) — the standard channel for nearly all adult and minor grant applications. Sign in with GCKey or a Sign-In Partner (Canadian bank login), complete Form CIT 0002 (adults) or CIT 0003 (minors), upload supporting documents, pay the fee, and submit. Paper applications by mail to the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, Nova Scotia remain available but are processed more slowly and reserved for specific exempted categories.

Adult applicants pay CAD $653 in total: CAD $530 processing fee plus a CAD $123 right of citizenship fee (the latter increased from $119.75 on 31 March 2026 under the annual Service Fees Act inflation adjustment — the $530 processing fee itself has been unchanged since the April 2024 reduction from $630). The right of citizenship fee is refunded if the application is refused or withdrawn before oath. Minor applicants (under 18) pay a flat CAD $100 with no right of citizenship fee. Payment is made online by credit card through the IRCC fee-payment portal at the moment of submission; the receipt must be uploaded with the application.

IRCC publishes a 12-month service standard for routine adult grant applications, meaning 80% of files are decided within that window. Actual May 2026 published processing time is 13 months end-to-end (up one month from 12 months in April 2026, with the active queue around 321,000 people). Online applications generally move faster than paper. Complex files — security flags, residency-calculation questions, missing documents, or RCMP/CSIS referrals — routinely take 18–24+ months. After approval, the oath ceremony invitation typically arrives within 4–8 weeks of the AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) of the test result.
