Proof of Citizenship (Citizenship Certificate)

If you were born abroad to a Canadian parent, or need to confirm your Canadian status, you may apply for a Proof of Citizenship Certificate. This document officially confirms that you are a Canadian citizen. 

How It Works

  1. Eligibility – You may apply if:

    • You were born outside Canada to a Canadian parent,

    • You’re applying on behalf of your child,

  2. Receive certificate – If approved, IRCC issues a Citizenship Certificate as official proof.

Why It’s Important

  • Needed for a Canadian passport.

  • Confirms citizenship status for legal, educational, and travel purposes.

  • Protects children’s rights to citizenship even if born abroad.

At Nivara Immigration, we prepare and review your documentation to ensure your proof application is complete and accurate.
