I am currently a PR.I want to find out if having a speeding ticket on your record can prevent an application for Canadian citizenship from being approved.

Thank you

Depends on the ticket. If the speed is dangerously high and endangered others then can be criminally prosecuted. Any criminal conviction affects citizenship.

Speeding ticket falls under provincial's jurisdiction, thus should not affect citizenship. Only if it a charge at federal level such as DUI conviction will it can affect citizenship application.

always be a modal citizen and avoid getting into trouble.

Safety first, always. You'd want the same safety for your family so you also gotta play ur part and be a safe and courteous driver yourself.
