Canada aiming to open online citizenship applications for multiple adults in fall 2022.

-

 


Do you want to applyfor Canadian citizenship online? Couples and families with multiple adults will soon be able to apply for citizenship online, according to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

Currently, only single adult applicants can submit citizenship applications online. However, adults can apply together in fall 2022, IRCC told CIC News in an email. After that, the online portal for minors and families will open.

"IRCC is working to expand electronic applications to allow adults (i.e. 18+) to apply online together as a family or group, and is currently targeting fall 2022," an IRCC spokesperson said. "Plans have begun. Further expand the scope of electronic applications to include persons under the age of 18, as well as adults and minors applying together as a family or group.”

IRCC said it would begin developing "additional capabilities for agents" following the implementation of electronic filings. Currently, representatives can only help prepare online applications, but cannot submit applications on behalf of clients. You can contact IRCC on behalf of the applicant before and after submitting the online application.

“In November 2021, IRCC updated the system to allow clients to submit IMM Form 5476 - Using a Representative, enabling them to use a representative’s services in preparing their application. We also updated the screening question to allow clients working with an agency to submit your application electronically," IRCC wrote.

"Following the extension of electronic filing to minors and groups, the department will begin developing additional features for delegates."

In August 2021, IRCC said that families and minors would submit online citizenship applications for representatives throughout the year and in 2022.

In November 2021, IRCC opened an online portal to test citizenship applicants.

Australia Sydney Immigration is critical to the economic health of both Canada and Australia.
