The application processing times show how long it will take us to process your application for Canadian citizenship. If you think you have an emergency and won’t receive your citizenship in time, you may apply for urgent processing.
We can only process citizenship applications urgently in special cases. We check every urgent request to see if it meets the conditions for urgent processing. If your application doesn’t meet the conditions, we will process it normally.
To apply for urgent processing, you must be eligible to apply for citizenship and have an emergency, such as:
needing Canadian citizenship to:
apply for a job
avoid losing your job
go to a Canadian school, college or university
needing to travel because of death or serious illness in your family and you can’t get a passport in your current nationality
receiving a successful Federal Court decision on an appeal on a previous application for citizenship
Even if these conditions apply to you, we may not be able to process your request urgently. If we do process your request urgently, we may not be able to do it in time to help your situation.
Unless you need citizenship to do your essential work, like in the case of that physician who needed a specific high level clearance only allowed for Canadian citizens to conduct covid research, it won’t be considered.
