Answer once, print your answer sheet, then copy it into the official IRCC form. This mirrors the sections of form CIT 0002 (adults applying under subsection 5(1)) — including the full address and work history disclosure — so nothing surprises you on the real application.
Everything you type stays in your browser only — nothing is sent to us or anyone else. We intentionally never ask for your SIN; that goes on the official form only.
Section 1 — Personal details
Family name(s) then given name(s), exactly as on your PR card / passport.
Leave blank if none.
8 or 10-digit number on your PR card, COPR, or previous IRCC letters.
Step 1 of 11
The adult application fee is $653 — a $530 processing fee plus a $123 right of citizenship fee (the right of citizenship portion rose from $119.75 on March 31, 2026, and is refunded if your application is refused or withdrawn before the oath). Minors under 18 pay $100.
Beyond the presence day-count, the form wants a complete, gap-free 5-year address history and 5-year work/education history, plus every trip you took outside Canada with a destination and reason. Leaving a period unaccounted for is one of the most common reasons applications are returned — the steps above are built to catch that before you submit, but always confirm the exact lookback window against whichever current form revision you download.
Confirm your physical presence with the Physical Presence Calculator and validate the final count with IRCC's official calculator before paying any fee. The knowledge test that follows approval-in-principle is now online by default — 20 questions, 45 minutes, up to 3 attempts. If you were born abroad to a Canadian parent, you may already be a citizen under Bill C-3's new descent rules — check that before paying for a grant application you might not need.
