申请入籍成为加拿大公民 Apply for Canadian Citizenship

无此强制要求！是否选择入籍是永久居民的个人选择。

No, there is no obligation to apply for Canadian citizenship at any time.

与加拿大永久居民不同，公民没有居住义务。加拿大公民，如果不是由于情结特别严重的重大虚假陈述获得公民身份，其公民身份不会被撤销。入籍后可以申请加拿大护照，并有权在联邦、省和市三级政府的选举中参与投票。

Unlike Canadian permanent residents, Canadian citizens have no residency obligations. Canadian citizens cannot lose their status unless it was obtained through material misrepresentation. Canadian citizens also receive Canadian passports and are entitled to vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections.

加拿大法律规定，入籍申请人在递交申请前的五年内必须以永久居民的身份在加拿大境内实际居住超过三年（1095天）。在在五年期间：

• 以永居身份在境内度过的每一天都算作一天。
• 获得永居身份前，以临时居民或受庇护身份度过的每一天算作半天，最多抵扣一年（365天）。
• 如果申请人获得永居身份不足五年，则从其获得永居身份之日起开始计算。
• 在加拿大的服刑时间不纳入居住时间（即身处监狱、教养所、感化院、缓刑和/或假释期间不纳入计算）。

Canadian law dictates that applicants must be physically present in Canada as a permanent resident for 1,095 days within the five (5) years immediately before applying for citizenship. Only the five years preceding the date of the application are taken into account. Within that five-year period:

• Every day spent in Canada as a permanent resident counts as a full day.
• Every day spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident as a temporary resident or protected person counts as a half-day towards meeting the physical presence requirement for citizenship, up to a maximum credit of 365 days.
• If the applicant became a permanent resident less than five years ago, the calculation period starts on the date that he or she became a permanent resident.
• Time spent serving a sentence in Canada does not count towards the physical presence requirement (i.e. time spent in a prison, penitentiary, jail, reformatory, probation and/or on parole cannot be counted as physical presence).

除某些特殊情况外，身处加拿大境外度过的时间，不会被纳入申请入籍所需的1095天内。

Unless there are exceptional circumstances, time spent outside of Canada will not be counted towards the calculation of the 1,095 days required to qualify for Canadian citizenship.

自1977年起，加拿大允许其公民持有双重或多重国籍。因此，加拿大公民保留其原国籍或申请成为另一国家的公民，都不会失去加拿大国籍。包括美国在内的许多国家都承认双重国籍。我们建议在申请入籍加拿大前，核实其目前所拥有国籍的国家是否允许双重国籍。

Since 1977, Canada has permitted its citizens to hold dual or multi citizenship. As a result, Canadian citizens will not lose their Canadian citizenship if they retain their former nationality or become citizens of another country. Many other countries, including the United States, also recognize dual citizenship.

It is advised that a permanent resident intending to become a Canadian citizen verifies whether the country of his or her current nationality permits dual citizenship.

并非所有情况都是如此。一般而言，只有居住在加拿大的公民才需就其全球范围内的收入缴纳加拿大所得税。加拿大税务系统较为复杂，最好向税务专家咨询有关意见。

Not in all cases. As a general rule, only citizens residing in Canada are required to pay Canadian income tax on worldwide income. It is always best to consult with a specialist in Canadian taxation for specific advice regarding any and all Canadian taxation matters

出生在加拿大的任何人都很可能是加拿大公民。如果不确定自己是否拥有加拿大公民身份，可以通过加拿大移民、难民及公民部查询公民身份记录，并获得新的公民身份证明文件。

Anyone born in Canada is most likely a Canadian citizen. Anyone unsure of his or her Canadian citizenship can contact IRCC and request a search for citizenship records, and obtain new citizenship documents.

取决于公民身份被撤销的时间和原因，或有可能重新申请加拿大公民身份。鉴于相关申请案件的复杂性，建议与我们取得联系具体咨询。

Depending on when and for what reason citizenship was revoked, it may be possible to re-apply for Canadian citizenship. For complicated citizenship problems like these, it is best to have a consultation.

是的，加拿大遵循出生地原则。无论其父母是否拥有加拿大国籍或永久居民身份，在加拿大出生即自动获得加拿大国籍。

Yes. Children born in Canada are Canadian citizens regardless of the status of their parents (i.e. a parent does not have to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident in order for his or her Canadian-born child to be a citizen).

如不是在加拿大出生，未满18岁的儿童在申请入籍时必须拥有永居身份。实际居住超过三年（1095天）的要求并不适用于未满18周岁的儿童。未满18岁的儿童只有在父母之一已经是加拿大公民，或同时递交入籍申请的情况下才能申请入籍。该规定同样适用于被领养的儿童。

A child must be a permanent resident of Canada to become a citizen. The physical presence requirement of 1,095 days does not apply to children under the age of 18. In order to apply for citizenship for a child under the age of 18, one of the child’s parents must already be a Canadian citizen, or must apply for citizenship at the same time. This applies to adoptive children as well.
