IRCC accepts certified copies of birth certificates, passports, and other supporting documents. Original documents are only required for in‑person appointments.

Can I submit the form electronically?

Yes. After completing the fillable PDF, you can upload the signed PDF and supporting files to the IRCC online portal if you have a secure account.

How long does processing take?

Processing times vary, but most first‑generation citizenship applications are reviewed within 6‑12 months once a complete package is received.
