From your first PR card after landing through your citizenship oath — physical- presence calculations, language assessments, the citizenship test, PR card renewals, replacements, and PRTD applications for PRs abroad. Handled directly by a regulated immigration consultant.
Becoming a Canadian citizen is a single application with a few demanding pieces: you need 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada in the five years before applying, current tax filings, a passing language assessment at CLB 4 (for ages 18–54), and a citizenship test (for ages 18–54). After approval, you take the oath of citizenship at a ceremony.
Before that, the PR card is the wallet-sized travel document that proves your status — required to board a flight back to Canada as a PR, valid for 5 years (1 year for some first cards). Your status itself is governed by the residency obligation — 730 days of physical presence in any rolling 5-year window. We handle every part of both: first PR cards, renewals, replacements, PRTDs for PRs stuck abroad, residency obligation reviews, and the full citizenship application from physical-presence calculation through the oath.
Citizenship and PR card matters sit side by side — your PR status and card upkeep sets the foundation, citizenship is the next chapter. We handle both end-to-end.
From physical-presence calculation through the oath.
Renewals, replacements, PRTDs, and 730/5 reviews.
The four-step path for citizenship applications. PR card and PRTD files compress the middle two steps and skip the test / oath — we adapt the process to the matter.
We count your days in Canada (1,095/5 for citizenship; 730/5 for PR status), check tax filings, plan the language assessment, and identify any inadmissibility or absence concerns up front.
Passport history, travel records, tax records (CRA NOAs for citizenship), language test results, photos. For PR card renewals, current PR card and proof of address. For PRTD, evidence of presence in Canada or H&C grounds.
We submit online via IRCC and pay fees. Biometrics scheduled where required (typically only re-collected every 10 years). We monitor processing and respond to IRCC requests.
Citizenship: language assessment, knowledge test, oath ceremony, citizenship certificate. PR card: card mailed to your address. PRTD: travel document issued for return to Canada.
Citizenship applications need more evidence than PR card renewals. This is the working inventory most files need — we customise after the first consultation.
Citizenship and PR card matters share an IRCC fee schedule. The biggest single line is the adult citizenship grant; PR card renewals and replacements are relatively modest.
IRCC fees as of April 30, 2026. Language test, photos, courier, and translations are billed separately by their providers.
