Which Situation Applies?

I am a Permanent Resident applying for citizenship for the first time (Grant) I was previously a Canadian citizen and am seeking to resume my citizenship

Note: This form is for Permanent Residents applying for citizenship (Grant) or former citizens seeking resumption only. If you believe you may be eligible for citizenship through a Canadian parent or grandparent (citizenship by descent), please contact EBBI directly at admin@explorebeyondborders.ca, (647) 780-4069, WhatsApp, or Facebook Messenger to discuss your situation individually, rather than using this form.

Physical Presence History

Citizenship requires 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada within the 5 years before you apply. The questions below help EBBI calculate this accurately on your behalf — we do not expect you to do this math yourself.

Did you spend any time in Canada as a temporary resident (work permit, study permit, or as a protected person) BEFORE becoming a Permanent Resident?

If yes, approximate start date of that temporary status period

If yes, approximate end date (when you became a PR)

Please list all trips OUTSIDE Canada since becoming a Permanent Resident, with approximate dates. Include the most recent 5 years at minimum — more history is helpful if you have it.

Have you ever served time in prison, been on parole, or been on probation in Canada?

Time spent in any of these situations does not count toward physical presence and may affect eligibility timing.

If yes, briefly describe (dates, circumstances)

Were you, or your spouse/parent, ever a Crown servant (e.g. Canadian Armed Forces, federal public service) posted outside Canada during this period?

Time outside Canada as a Crown servant or their family member can count at full value toward physical presence, as an exception to normal rules.
