How can I apply for Canadian citizenship after PR?

To become a citizen, you must have lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days (3 years) within the last five years as a PR. You must file taxes for at least three years, pass a citizenship test, and demonstrate language proficiency (CLB 4 or higher) in English or French. The process takes about 12-18 months after submission. Once approved, you attend a citizenship ceremony, take an oath, and receive a Canadian Citizenship Certificate. This grants you full rights, including voting and obtaining a Canadian passport.
