Become Canadian With Proof Of Citizenship
WWW.ESSEINDIA.COM
You may be able to get Canadian citizenship just by applying for proof of citizenship. If you have at least one Canadian parent born abroad, you may already be eligible for Canadian citizenship. Once you are eligible for citizenship, you no longer need to go through the normal application process. This includes requirements such as physical presence requirements as a permanent resident, knowledge tests and attendance at citizenship ceremonies. Instead, ask for proof of citizenship, also known as a certificate of citizenship. Canadian Citizenship

To be considered a first-generation Canadian, parents must have been born in Canada or have obtained citizenship through an application process. If your grandfather was first-generation Canada and your father obtained citizenship by descent, he is not eligible to take the citizenship test .
Proof of Citizenship Application Process To apply for proof of citizenship, you will need to download the application package available on the IRCC website. When you were born, your biological or legal father must certify that you are a Canadian citizen. IRCC accepts evidence such as a parent's birth certificate, Canadian citizenship card or citizenship certificate. Once IRCC confirms that the submitted application has been completed, it will send an acknowledgment of receipt, called an AOR. If your application is approved, IRCC will send you a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship.
You can check the status of your application online on the IRCC website. Complex files may take longer to process. IRCC offers expedited processing options for those who need to get health care, a Social Security number, start a job, or travel to and from Canada in an emergency. A Canadian immigration lawyer can help you with this process. An experienced immigration attorney can double-check that you meet all eligibility criteria and help you prove your Canadian citizenship right away.
