What Is Canadian Citizenship?
Canadian citizenship is the highest legal status you can obtain in Canada. It grants individuals full rights and responsibilities under Canadian law, including the ability to vote, apply for a Canadian passport, and run for public office. Unlike permanent residents, Canadian citizens have no residency obligations and cannot lose their status due to time spent outside Canada.
