Advantages of Canadian Citizenship
There are numerous advantages to holding Canadian citizenship. A Canadian citizen has benefits that are not available to permanent residents, such as: access to restricted jobs; the right to vote; ability to travel with a Canadian passport; and your children will be Canadian. Canadian citizens also have the security of holding a status that is not easy to lose or surrender.
Steps to become a Canadian citizen:
- Apply for citizenship
- Citizenship test and interview
- Oath of citizenship and ceremony
Requirements
Therefore, to be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you must:
- be a permanent resident
- have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years

- show how well you know Canada
- prove your language skills

LMIA
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document that an employer in Canada may need to get before hiring a foreign worker.
A positive LMIA will show that there is a need for a foreign worker to fill the job. It will also show that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do the job. A positive LMIA is sometimes called a confirmation letter.
If the employer needs an LMIA, they must apply for one. Employer is responsible for all cost related to obtaining the LMIA.
Once an employer gets the LMIA, the worker can apply for a work permit.
To apply for a work permit, a worker needs
- a job offer letter
- a contract
- a copy of the LMIA, and
- the LMIA number
