Canadian Citizenship Question

[Mike_925]

Hello Everyone
My name is Mike, and I am a Permanent Resident since April 14, 2016. I will be eligble on April 14, 2018 to become Citizen of Canada. Counting 1 year Max prior of getting Permanent Resident under the new rule.

My question is do I have to wait until April 14, 2018 before I could apply for Citizenship?

Thank you in Advance.

Yes, you have to meet the requirements for citizenship before you can apply for citizenship.

"Regardless of your age, you must have been physically present in Canada for at least:

• 1095 days during the five years right before the date you sign your application

You may be able to use some of your time spent in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person towards your physical presence calculation. Each day spent physically in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person before becoming a permanent resident within the last 5 years will count as one half day, with a maximum of 365 days, towards your physical presence."

You will be able to apply on that day as long has you have never left Canada in the 4 years preceding that date (2 years as PR and the 2 previous years as temporary resident, counting each for 50%). If you have, then you will need to wait longer. The Physical Presence Calculator will tell you exactly how long.
