Among many global happiness index rankings, Canada ranks at the top. Not to mention the excellent quality of its surrounding environment and air, just the social welfare alone and the top universities in the world can make many people envious. It is precisely in view of this situation that the number of applicants for immigration in Canada is increasing every year, and Canada's immigration policy is always tightening for applicants. If you want to immigrate to Canada and join its nationality, there is still a certain degree of difficulty. So, what conditions need to be met to successfully become a Canadian citizen?

To be eligible to apply and become a Canadian citizen, applicants must meet the following six requirements:

Regardless of the age of the applicant, if you plan to apply for naturalization, you must have legal permanent resident status in Canada, that is, you must have a PR Maple Leaf Card. There is something to be aware of: even if the legally obtained Maple Leaf Card expires and is useless, the applicant can still apply for naturalization.

Regardless of the age of the applicant, the applicant must have actually lived in Canada for at least 3 years out of the 5 years since the date of submission of naturalization application. In addition, before becoming a permanent resident of Canada, 50% of the time the applicant lived in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person can be converted into the length of residence, up to 1 year. In other words, international students who have completed their studies in Canada will be eligible to apply for naturalization as long as they have lived in Canada for another 2 years after receiving their Maple Leaf Card.

Regardless of the age of the applicant, according to the provisions of the Income Tax Law, all or part of the personal income tax filing responsibilities can be completed within 3 tax years within 5 years before the date of application for naturalization.

If you want to become a Canadian citizen, the applicant must have the ability to use either of Canada's two official languages, namely English or French, to carry out listening and speaking communication. The naturalization interview officer will use the interview method to evaluate the applicant's language, listening and speaking skills, and ultimately determine whether to approve the applicant's naturalization and become a Canadian citizen.

To become a Canadian citizen, applicants must take a naturalization test to meet the Canadian knowledge requirements as a citizen. Applicants will answer a total of 20 questions in the test. These 20 questions cover Canada's history and political system, etc., and answer them.

If an applicant has committed a criminal act within or outside Canada and is convicted of a crime within the 4 years before applying for naturalization, he or she is not eligible to become a Canadian citizen.

Canada, known as the "Maple Leaf Country", has a very tolerant society. As long as you adopt a positive attitude to integrate into the environment, new immigrants can integrate into local life relatively quickly. It is not an exaggeration to call it the first choice of a traditional immigration country. However, there are currently too many applicants for Canadian immigration, and immigration policies are changing rapidly. Just some time ago, Quebec took a "one size fits all" approach to target 18,000 applications. This change in policy is unpredictable. Those who are planning to immigrate or naturalize to Canada would be better off doing so as early as possible.
