Citizenship Evidence

Acceptable evidence of immigration status is considered to be the original document, OR an unaltered copy of your original document along with a completed statutory declaration form which can be submitted in-person or sent by mail.

If you are providing unaltered copies of the following documents, please note:

  • Canadian Citizenship Card (copy of front and back required)
  • Permanent Resident Card (copy of front and back required)
