Canadian Citizenship is the end-goal for many immigrants who come to Canada to start a new life. People who are permanent residents in Canada can apply for Canadian citizenship after a designated period, usually after they have resided in Canada for three years out of a four-year time frame. 
Why Apply for Canadian Citizenship?
Canadian citizens enjoy rights that permanent residents in Canada do not, including being eligible for a Canadian Passport and being able to vote in Canada.
Applicants will be tested on their language proficiency and also have to attend a Citizenship ceremony.
Appealing a Canadian Citizenship Denial
Sometimes, Canadian Citizenship applications are denied for various reasons. If you have not met the required obligations with regards to your physical presence in Canada, or for any other reason, your application can be denied. Mistakes can happen, either on your part in filling out your application or on behalf of the government, that result in an unfair denial of Canadian Citizenship.
If you receive a notice that your application for Canadian Citizenship has been denied – take note: you will have to appeal within 60 days to the Federal Court of Canada. The Federal Court will review the case and determine if any errors were made as well as consider any new evidence you will be able to offer. If the Court rules in your favour, your application will be re-considered by another judge.

Hi dear Same thing happen with my husband ‘s file. He got denied citizenship letter yesterday..If you find out any thing please reply me.. If I got any info about it i wwill let you know. If you know any thing then let me know..
my aunt has been a landed immigrant in canada for almost 40 years. she has worked, paid taxes and voted the whole time. she chose to apply for her canadian citizenship this year and was approved by the judge. however the federal ministry of citizenship appealed the judge’s decision and is waiting for her to contest in 7 days.
the only thing that was out of order was that one of her passports was lost…and it had her 10yr US Visa in it.
this appeal is confounding as no real reason is given and won’t be given until she files to contest this appeal….which will cost $2500 only if this resolved outside of court. they are a paychq to paychq family and this is an incredibly unforeseen event for them do they have any other option or recourse….say xontacting their MP?
Hello Shampa
Thank you for your question. Your aunt’s situation is unfortunate but I see this kind of thing often. I am not sure contacting her MP will do much but it is worth a try. She needs proper legal representation to fight this. Appeals are complex.
