Some other points to consider:
1. Regardless of your age, if you’re applying for citizenship, you must have permanent resident (PR) status in Canada. This means you must not:
- Be under review for immigration or fraud reasons
- Be asked by Canadian officials to leave Canada (removal order)
- Have unfulfilled conditions related to your PR status, for example: medical screening
Before applying for citizenship, you should review the documents you received when you became a permanent resident to make sure you’re eligible
2. If you committed a crime in or outside Canada
- You may not be eligible to become a Canadian citizen for a period of time
- Time spent serving a term of imprisonment, on parole, or on probation doesn’t count as time you’ve lived in Canada
