Key figures at a glance
Source sequence preservedApplication timeline Sequence and requirements | |
|---|---|
| Requirement | Detail |
| Physical presence | At least 1,095 days (3 years) in Canada within the last 5 years as a permanent resident |
| Tax filing | Income tax filed for at least 3 years within the relevant 5-year period, where required |
| Language ability | CLB 4 in English or French, for applicants aged 18–54 |
| Knowledge test | Test on Canadian history, values, institutions, and geography, for applicants aged 18–54 |
| No prohibitions | No relevant criminal or immigration-related prohibitions on file |
A portion of time spent in Canada before becoming a permanent resident can count, up to a capped number of days — this should be calculated carefully rather than assumed.
Applicants outside this range are generally exempt from the language and knowledge test requirements, though physical presence and tax filing requirements still apply.
