Canada is a good and favourable location for anyone who wants to settle there. It has something for every profession and opportunities for every candidate who wants to settle. With good infrastructure and better living conditions, Canada is one of the most sort after location in the world.  

There are certain eligibility criteria for the Canadian Citizenship which need to be fulfilled by the candidate in order to attain the Canadian Citizen status –

•         It is important that out of the five years of PR status of the candidate at least for the period of three years the candidate should have filed the taxes

In case any of the above criteria is unfulfilled or the application is incomplete then the IRCC has the right to reject the application of the Candidate for the Canadian citizenship.
