• Every year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
  Canada (IRCC) celebrates Citizenship Week, which
  commemorates Canadas new citizens and what it
  means to be a Canadian.
• Today, the Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of
  Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship announced
  the launch of Citizenship Week, which will run
  from May 22nd to May 28th, 2023. The Minister
  will be attending citizenship ceremonies in
  Halifax, Nova Scotia and Vancouver, British
  Columbia.

• Everyone is invited to celebrate Citizenship Week
  by attending citizenship ceremonies taking place
  this week across Canada. Canadians may also join
  the livestream from Halifax on May 24th. IRCC has
  been working to modernize their services and has
  made important strides when it comes to
  citizenship through online testing, virtual
  citizenship ceremonies and online application
  trackers.
• Last year, Canada exceeded its citizenship goals
  by welcoming almost 364,000 new citizens. Canada
  has already welcomed 85,000 new Canadians in the
  first three months of 2023. Indians continue to
  make up the highest proportion (around 19) of
  new citizens, but citizens of the Philippines,
  Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan, Iran, China, the US and
  UK made up to 54 of this number.

What is a citizenship ceremony?

• Once you have successfully completed the
  citizenship test and interview, you will be
  invited to a citizenship ceremony, which is the
  final step to becoming a Canadian citizen. During
  the ceremony, participants take the Oath of
  Citizenship, which is symbolic of accepting the
  rights and responsibilities of being a citizen of
  Canada. This process is usually administered by a
  citizenship judge.
• Between April 1st, 2022 and March 31st 2023, on
  average, nearly 30,000 people took the Oath of
  Citizenship each month, which has exceeded
  pre-COVID-19 numbers. During Citizenship Week,
  there are almost 100 citizenship ceremonies
  planned, which hope to welcome close to 13,000
  new Canadians.

Who is eligible for Canadian citizenship?

• IRCC allows permanent residents to apply for
  Canadian citizenship after they have been
  physically residing in Canada for three years
  (1,095 days) out of the five years immediately
  preceding the application for citizenship.
• Canadian citizenship is advantageous as unlike
  permanent residents, Canadian citizens have no
  residency obligations. In addition, they can
  receive Canadian passports and are entitled to
  vote in municipal, provincial, and federal
  elections.
