We are applying for Canadian citizenship but I have a son that is under 18. In canadian citizenship website there are 2 links for minor, one is for subsection 5(1) and the other one is for subsection 5(2), I don't know which one to use because they look similar and I've searched in google and I didn't see any answer. Hopefully, someone can answer this. Thank you.
What is the difference between Applying Citizenship minor Subsection 5(1) and minor subsection 5(2)?
- Thread starter ewankho
- Start date
Applying under 5(1):
"This application under subsection 5(1) is intended for minors (under 18) who are permanent residents and:
- do not have a parent applying for citizenship at the same time as them, or
- do not already have a Canadian parent."
"This form for an application under subsection 5(2) is intended for minors (persons under the age of 18) who are permanent residents of Canada who are applying at the same time as their parent or who already have a Canadian parent."
