At any time, you can return to a previous question, by selecting one of the links below:

You have told us that:

• You have not renounced your Canadian citizenship.

Was your Canadian citizenship ever revoked for fraud?

• Yes
• No or This question does not apply to me (I have never been a Canadian citizen and I am using this questionnaire to know if I am Canadian under the new law).

Revoked for fraud means that a person’s Canadian citizenship status was taken away by the Canadian government. Canadian citizenship law provides for the revocation of citizenship of persons who have obtained their citizenship or permanent residence status through false representation, fraud or knowingly concealing material circumstances. If your citizenship was taken away for other reasons, answer “No” to this question.

Having your citizenship revoked for fraud is not the same thing as automatically losing your citizenship. For example, under previous legislation, Canadian citizens who left Canada for many years could automatically lose their Canadian citizenship. This is not a revocation of citizenship.
