Intent to reside

This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by CIC staff. It is posted on the CIC website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
The requirement respecting the intent to reside signals that citizenship is for those who intend to make Canada their home after being granted citizenship. This requirement will support deeper attachment to Canada and it will help deter citizens of convenience.
Background and authorities
Paragraph 5(1)(c.1) of the
Citizenship Act, as amended by the
Strengthening Canadian Citizenship Act (SCCA), states that an applicant must intend, if granted citizenship,
- to continue to reside in Canada;
- to enter into, or continue in, employment outside Canada in or with the Canadian Armed Forces, the federal public administration or the public service of a province, otherwise than as a locally engaged person; or
- to reside with their spouse or common-law partner or parent, who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and is employed outside Canada in or with the Canadian Armed Forces, the federal public administration or the public service of a province, otherwise than as a locally engaged person.
This requirement is also applicable to
grant applications for Canadian Armed Forces and
resumption applications, including
resumption for Canadian Armed Forces. For resumptions, the relevant provisions of the Act are subparagraphs 11(1)(
e)(i), (ii), and (iii).
For brevity, throughout this program delivery instruction, the term “intent to reside” will be used to refer to the intentions referred to in paragraphs 5(1)(
c.1) and 11(1)(
e) of the Act.
Subsection 5(1.1) of the Act states that for the purposes of paragraphs 5(1)(
c.1) and 11(1)(
e), the person’s intention must be continuous from the date of their application until they have taken the Oath of Citizenship.
Officers will be assessing the applicant’s intention if granted citizenship (i.e., what the applicant intends to do after becoming a citizen). Applicants must hold this intention to reside if granted citizenship from the time they sign their application to the time they take the Oath. The intent to reside is required to obtain citizenship but no longer applies once citizenship is granted. Once citizenship is granted, a citizen has the right to enter, remain in, and leave Canada as guaranteed by the Charter.
These procedures only apply to applications received
on or after the coming into force of these provisions through the SCCA on June 11, 2015, not to pending applications in the inventory. The authority to determine that this requirement has been met is delegated to level 1 and level 2 decision makers.
Note: The intent to reside requirement must not be confused with the residence/physical presence requirement. The latter requires that an applicant must reside/be physically present for a certain period of time in Canada before applying for citizenship.
Declaring intent to reside
Applicants who apply on or after June 11, 2015, are required to check a box on the application form to indicate their intent to reside or that they are incapable of forming the intent because of a mental disability. If the applicant leaves this section empty, the Case Processing Centre in Sydney (CPC-S) will return the application as incomplete. If the applicant indicates on the application that they do not intend to reside, the CPC-S will return the application at the completeness checking stage because the applicant has self-declared that they do not meet one of the requirements of the Act. There are no acceptable reasons, other than a waiver due to mental disability or in the case of a minor applying as an adult, a waiver on compassionate grounds, for not intending to reside.
In most cases, checking a box to that effect in an application form will be sufficient for applicants to demonstrate that they meet that intent to reside requirement.
When it appears the applicant does not meet this requirement
Applicants can demonstrate they meet this requirement by signalling their intent to reside on the application form. However, if an officer, in reviewing the applicant’s circumstances, has concerns that a person may not meet this requirement (e.g., the applicant checked “no” on the application and the CPC-S returned their application, but the applicant resubmitted their application and insists for it to be processed or the applicant gives an indication during an interview that they may not have formed the intent to reside), the officer should consult their supervisor and contact the Citizenship Program Delivery Division for functional guidance.
Waiver
Pursuant to paragraph 5(3)(
b.1), the requirement respecting the intent to reside may be waived on compassionate grounds for any person who is incapable of forming intent to reside because of a mental disability. Additionally, pursuant to subparagraph 5(3)(
b)(iii), for a minor child applying as an adult under subsection 5(1), the requirement respecting the intent to reside may be waived on compassionate grounds. See
