When I can apply to Canada Citizenship

[andso]

Hi All,

I became Convention Refugee in March 2016, two years later, April 2018 became Permanent at Resident.

My question is : When I can apply for citizenship? in other words, does immigration accounts any period for PR before receiving it. Some people said that you have one year credit time in your PR now and you can apply for citizenship in 2020 ?

Any new regulations issued recently?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you should be able to request the citizenship in 2020 going by your timeline.
The "Time you have lived in Canada" section here specifically answers the question regarding convention refugees :

Thank you very much this is very helpful. Does this applied for my kids where they are under 18 years?

If your kids apply by themselves, I think so, but you can include your kids in your application if they are PRs regardless of the time they spent in Canada.

Provided the law doesn't change again by then...

And there's a 99.9% chance it doesn't

Depends on who's in power. That's what makes it exciting.

Yup, but it would take a bit more than 8 months to pass the law and apply it if the conservatives win in October 2019. OP is safe :d
