Do I have to apply for a new Certificate of Canadian Citizenship?

[aldrinv]

Good day,

I want to know if is there a need to apply for a Certificate of Canadian citizenship if I'm already a Canadian citizen with a Citizenship CARD.

I understand they no longer issue cards, but personally I'm clumsy with small documents / cards, I wish to obtain the regular paper sized citizenship certificate (a much bigger one).

Just wanted to know if can I apply for the new certificate even if I already have the (old) card.

Thanks. ;D

You can but you have to turn in your old citizenship card in order to get a new one. You can't have both, certificate and citizenship card.
