Canadian Citzenship

Advantages of Canadian Citizenship

There are numerous advantages to holding Canadian citizenship. A Canadian citizen has benefits that are not available to permanent residents, such as: access to restricted jobs; the right to vote; ability to travel with a Canadian passport; and your children will be Canadian. Canadian citizens also have the security of holding a status that is not easy to lose or surrender.

Steps to become a Canadian citizen:

  • Apply for citizenship
  • Citizenship test and interview
  • Oath of citizenship and ceremony

Requirements

Therefore, to be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must:

  • be a permanent resident
  • have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years
  • have filed your taxes, if you need to
  • show how well you know Canada
  • prove your language skills

LMIA

A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.

A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.

If the employer needs an LMIA, they must apply for one.

Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.

To apply for a work permit, a worker needs

  • a job offer letter
  • a contract
  • a copy of the LMIA, and
  • the LMIA number
