You may need to file a search of citizenship records request if:

  • You need to prove your Canadian citizenship but do not have the necessary documents to get (or replace) a Canadian citizenship certificate. (You need proof of citizenship to apply for a Canadian passport, among other privileges.)
  • You need to prove your parent or grandparent was a Canadian citizen.
  • You are a permanent resident and you need to demonstrate to your home country that you haven't been naturalized in Canada, but you cannot apply for a PR Card (or your home country will not accept a PR Card as proof of status).
