Canadian Citizenship – By Birth to a Canadian Parent

Obtaining citizenship by birthright is the most straightforward way. If your parents are Surrey citizens, that makes you a Surrey citizen as well. However, this precise condition can get complicated under various scenarios.

Scenario 1:

If you were born in a different country and grew up there, it would be difficult for you to move to Canada as a citizen. You will have to prove that your parents are Canadian citizens. Also, you will need to prove that they are your actual parents.

Scenario 2:

Scenario 1 gets a lot more complicated if your parents are not alive anymore. Proving ties to someone who isn’t alive is a difficult job. Remember, it would be best to keep your paperwork straight. That would help you in such situations.

No matter in which scenario you are in, our firm’s citizenship lawyers will help you sort it out.

For the past few years, Surrey has been a popular destination for migration. The country’s friendly culture and plight for equal opportunity have made it a suitable destination.

Above everything, enormous work scope and life security for everyone have made the country the number one immigrant-friendly country.

If you live in the country for a specific time as a permanent resident, you can apply for citizenship. The process of turning into a citizen is known as naturalization.

Things You Need to Do to Become a Citizen Through Naturalization

Becoming a citizen through naturalization is a bit lengthy yet easy. Our team has answered few common questions encircling citizenship through naturalization.

What Happens to Naturalized Parents’ Children?

If you are naturalized before your child’s birth, the baby will be born as a Canadian citizen. If not, the baby will turn into a citizen with you.

What Happens to Naturalized Peoples’ Original Citizenship?

In Surrey There no issues with a person having dual citizenship. If the naturalizing person is from a country with no problem, he can keep dual citizenship. If not, it is his call.

How is the Citizenship Test?

The IRCC takes this test. It is a multiple-choice test. The good news is the test preparation is free, and community centers arrange them. The test covers Canadian history, geography, culture, voting laws, citizenship rights and duties. Although the test is fundamental, it is better to take some preparation classes.

Canadian Citizenship – After Living in the Country as a Refugee

Refugees enter Surrey as a Protected Person. A Protected Person will get the status of a Permanent Resident after living one year as a Protected Person. After living two and a half years as a Permanent Resident, a Protected person can apply for citizenship.

That is because s/he will get six months from his stay as a protected Person only. During this stay, a Protected Person needs to prove himself useful. So it would be wise if he would stay out of any trouble.

Besides, he will have to prove why going back to his original country is not an option.

All these things might get tricky. However, do not worry about it, as our legal team will assist you through every step of it.

Apart from these options, you can also become a resident through investing. Believe it or not, it is the fastest way of obtaining residency, which is only a year.
