  • Timing of the application for a minor: the application can be made simultaneously (concurrent) with one or both parents or after one or both parents have become a Canadian citizen (non-concurrent).
  • The minor must have a living Canadian parent (including adoptive parent) and parentage must be established. If parentage has been assessed and accepted for immigration purposes, parentage will be presumed to be established for citizenship purposes as well. Where possible, citizenship processes will not duplicate work previously conducted during an immigration process.
  • Minors are not subject to the language, residence and knowledge requirements that adults are subject to under the Citizenship Act.
