Becoming a citizen: After applying
Once we start processing your application for Canadian citizenship, we will send you a notice confirming receipt.
You can check the status of your application by contacting the Citizenship and Immigration Canada Call Centre or by going to Check My Application Status in the I Need To… section on the right-hand side of this page.
When we send you the notice we will also send you a copy of the study guide Discover Canada: The Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship. Study the guide carefully. You will need to know the information in it for the citizenship test.
Some applicants will have received the previous study guide called A Look at Canada. If you did, find out which guide you should use to prepare for the citizenship test.
When you sent us your application, you provided a photocopy of some original documents (for example, your record of landing or your confirmation of permanent residence, your permanent resident card, and your passport, if you have one). Keep the originals of those documents together. You will need to bring them with you to your citizenship test or interview.
