Canada to open online citizenship application portal for multiple adults in fall 2022

As per the latest update, couples and families in Canada living with multiple adults will be able to apply for Canadian citizenship online from Fall 2022.

Currently, only single adult candidates can submit their Canadian citizenship applications online. However, from Fall 2022, adults can also apply together through the online portal. Followed by this, the online portal will open for minors and families as well.

IRCC's spokesperson stated, “IRCC is working towards an expansion of the e-Application in order to allow Adults (i.e., 18 or older) to apply online together as a family or a group, and is currently targeting a Fall 2022 implementation.”

He further stated, “Planning has commenced for further e-Application expansion to minors under 18 years of age, as well as adults and minors applying together as a family or a group.”
