Citizenship

Canadian citizenship

Citizenship matters are governed by Canada’s citizenship legislation rather than the same program rules used for temporary or permanent residence. Trogon may assist with citizenship applications and determining whether proof of citizenship is the appropriate process.

01

Citizenship applications

An application may require careful review of physical presence, status history, tax-filing obligations where applicable, language or knowledge requirements, prohibitions and supporting information.

02

Proof of citizenship

A proof application is different from applying to become a citizen. It addresses whether a person is already Canadian and needs official proof. Citizenship-by-descent rules have changed over time and must be assessed under the current law.

03

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is applying for proof of citizenship the same as applying to become a citizen?

No. A proof application documents citizenship a person may already have; a grant application is a different process.
