If your parent is a Canadian citizen, you too may be eligible to become a citizen.
Canadian citizens can pass on their citizenship to their children who were born overseas. It can be passed on to the first generation born overseas as stated in Immigration Refugees and Citizenship act (IRPA).
If your parent is a citizen, you can apply for proof of citizenship known as a Citizenship certificate. Once you have the certificate, you can enjoy the perks of being a Canadian.
Why apply for citizenship?
Citizenship gives people the opportunity to vote, work for any employer, enter politics, enjoy universal health care coverage and access other social benefits, and improve employment opportunities in Canada. The citizens also hold a Canadian passport which makes it easier for them to visit other countries. Canada also allows its citizens to )apply for dual or multiple citizenships. So you do not have to renounce your previous citizenship to obtain Canadian citizenship.

Canada invited 6000 more Express Entry candidates to apply for permanent residence on June 10, 2021.
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited candidates with scores of at least 368. The new draw targeted candidates who are eligible for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Invited candidates have had at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada, as this is a key eligibility requirement of the CEC. Candidates also have at least an intermediate language proficiency in English or French.
Candidates who had the minimum score were only invited if they submitted their Express Entry profile before April 28, 2021, at 05:45:14 UTC.
In order to be invited, candidates needed a profile in the Express Entry System with a score of at least 300. The previous draw, held on May 18, had a slightly higher score requirement of 301.
Alberta has now invited 2,100 Express Entry candidates to apply for a provincial nomination since it resumed invitation rounds in January 2021 after a temporary COVID-related hiatus.
The BC PNP Tech Pilot has been extended indefinitely and renamed BC PNP Tech to provide B.C. tech employers with the continued ability to recruit and retain international talent when local skilled workers are unavailable.
BC PNP Tech offers people in 29 tech occupations a prioritized pathway to permanent residency, and an opportunity to contribute to the Province’s shared prosperity and build a great life here in B.C.
B.C. is developing the highest quality local talent by introducing students to tech earlier, expanding tech training and education in post-secondary institutions, and creating work experience opportunities.
Beyond accessing the skills and talent of B.C. workers, companies need to be able to attract skilled workers from around the world. Tech entrepreneurs and skilled workers from other countries can help grow B.C.’s technology sector, leading to more jobs for British Columbians.
In support of these priorities, BC PNP Tech has supported over 6,000 tech workers to be nominated for permanent residence since its launch in May 2017. BC PNP Tech helps ensure the technology sector can attract and retain the talent it needs to sustain and grow the sector further.
BC PNP Tech helps employers address their talent needs by providing a fast-tracked, permanent immigration pathway for in-demand foreign workers and international students.
