Hi, I have just received my Canadian Citizenship Certificate. I’m currently living in the States and am married to a US Citizen. Assume I move to Canada with my spouse. How does she achieve Permanent Resident status? Thanks so much.

I’m filling out the request for Canadian Citizenship Certification and am also looking at the passport application. Two dates ranges are commonly asked about. (1) January 1, 1947, and, (2) February 15, 1977 to April 16, 1982. I assume this has something to do with changes in immigration law...

Thanks so much!

Hello, When I apply for proof Canadian citizenship there are a number of documents that must be included in the application package—birth certificates, etc. Will those documents be returned to me at the end of the application process, or are they kept? Thank you.
