Citizenship requirement

[stealth1947]

So i heard that now you can get citizenship after 3 years in Canada. Ive got almost 2years since PR, plus i can add 1year of my work permit.

My question is what are requirements of moving from PR to citizen? Do I need again collect the same things (police records, univeristy degree, language tests, medical exam ect) and get enough points or since I already did that the process is now way quicker and less painful?

Basically if someone could just describe briefly steps from PR -> Citizenship i would be very thankful

They are two separate processes. Citizenship is basically based on time spent in Canada while getting PR is much more complicated. Would recommend you do look at the requirements online.

I already got PR, like i told you i have PR status for almost 2 years, and 1 year of WP before that, so i think i already pass those 3 years requirement. I want to know what next steps?

Can someone give me link where i can apply and check list of full requirements to become citizenship?

Your 1 year on a WP will count as six months (1/2 day for each day up to 1 year maximum). Your almost there, but not quite.

Just to add that one of the requirements for citizenship qualification is all about actual physical presence in Canada at the time of applying and not just how long you have been a PR. There is a specific tool to determine how many physical presence days you have accumulated
