  • Days spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident, within 5 years of applying for citizenship, count as half days (up to 365 days) towards physical presence requirements
  • Age range for language and knowledge requirements reduced to 18-54 years old
  • Time required for applicants to file income taxes before applying for citizenship is reduced to 3 out of 5 years
  • A new citizenship revocation process with the Federal Court as the decision-maker on most cases

Please contact our office at info@visascanada.com if you meet the new  requirements and plan to file a citizenship application. We will be happy to assist you as your representative.
