Subject: APPLICATION FOR CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP
Dear
This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
(IRCC) will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required. When
your application has been reviewed and has met basic eligibility, IRCC will invite you to a knowledge test, interview and/or
ceremony, as applicable.
Some of the requirements for Canadian citizenship changed. These new changes provide more flexibility for applicants in
meeting citizenship requirements and as your application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, NS on or after
that date, it will be assessed based on the new requirements of the Citizenship Act. To learn more about the new citizenship
eligibility requirements, please visit our website at
www.cic.gc.ca.
To become a Canadian citizen, persons between 18 and 54 years of age on the date they signed their application must meet
language and knowledge requirements:
• Demonstrate competence in basic communication in English or French.
• Ability to pass a written or oral test on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
Questions testing the knowledge requirement are based on the information provided in the Discover Canada study guide.
• If you are receiving this letter by regular mail, the study guide is enclosed.
www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/discover/index.asp.
• If you are receiving this letter by email, the study guide is available on the IRCC website at
The pass mark for the citizenship knowledge test is 75% (or at least 15 correct answers out of 20), therefore you are encouraged
to begin studying for the test as early as possible to ensure that you are able to meet the knowledge requirement and to assist
in the efficient processing of your application.
Please visit our website at
www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-test.asp for more information on how to prepare for the test.
It is very important that you notify IRCC of any changes in your contact information (i.e. address, email, and telephone number).
Please visit our website at
www.cic.gc.ca for information on:
1. How to change your contact information;
2. Application processing times;
3. Checking the status of your application.
Thank you,
