Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it take to get Canadian citizenship after applying?
It typically takes 12 to 18 months to process a citizenship application, depending on your case and processing times in your region.
Is the citizenship test difficult?
CRS cut-off scores vary from draw to draw. Generally, a score above 470 increases your chances, but candidates with scores in the lower 400s may also get selected through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). At Makland Immigration, we can help you explore ways to improve your score.
Can I apply for citizenship if I’ve been outside Canada a lot?
You must have spent at least 1,095 days in Canada within the last 5 years. Extended time outside Canada may impact your eligibility.
Do I lose my original citizenship when I become a Canadian citizen?
Canada allows dual citizenship, but your original country’s laws will decide if you can keep both. We recommend checking with your country of origin.
What happens if my citizenship application is refused?
You can either appeal the decision or reapply. Makland Immigration can review the reasons and help you build a stronger case.
