Canadian Citizenship
Canadian Citizenship Act section 5(1)(c) specifies when a permanent resident can be granted citizenship by the Minister. Canada Permanent Residency process is one of the ways to acquire Canadian citizenship subject to fulfillment of certain conditions. One must be a permanent resident of Canada, have lived in the country for specified duration, filed taxes, pass a citizenship test and prove the required language skills. However, there are circumstances that can prevent a person from becoming a citizen of Canada like being investigated for a crime, serving a term of imprisonment, being convicted of an offence, etc. This means that a permanent resident does not automatically qualify for the Canadian citizenship and needs to fulfill all the requisites before applying for citizenship.
