Conditions to distinguish when calculating citizenship

For standard adult applications: physical presence of at least 1,095 days in the 5 years immediately preceding the application date. Certain days in Canada prior to PR status as a temporary resident or protected person may count as half-days, up to a maximum of 365 days; you must use the official calculator and provide evidence.

You may need to file taxes for 3 years out of the 5-year period if tax law requires it. Individuals aged 18–54 on the date of signing the application must typically meet language and citizenship knowledge requirements, unless exempt. Children under 18 have different paths and conditions than adults.

Applying for/replacing a citizenship certificate to prove existing citizenship is a different procedure from applying for naturalization.
