Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Do I become a Canadian citizen when I marry a Canadian?
No, if you want to become a Canadian citizen, you must follow the same steps as everyone else. There is not a special process for spouses of Canadian citizens.
- I am citizen of another Country. Will I lose that citizenship if I become a Canadian?
Under Canadian law, you can be both a Canadian citizen and a citizen of another country. However, some countries will not let you keep their citizenship if you become a Canadian citizen.
The consulate or embassy of your other country of citizenship can tell you whether this applies to you.
- What can I do if my citizenship application is refused?
You can apply for Canadian citizenship again. This new application must include all the required forms and documents, including a new application fee. There is no waiting period before you can reapply. However, you should make sure you meet the requirements for Canadian citizenship before you reapply.
If your citizenship application is refused, you may also seek judicial review of the decision by the Federal Court of Canada. This is not an appeal of the decision. You have thirty (30) days from the date on the refusal letter to apply.
