Naturalization and Citizenship

Online Records[edit | edit source]

Naturalization Records, 1915–1951

Oaths of Allegiance[edit | edit source]

Until 1947 British immigrants from England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland automatically became citizens of Canada. Non-British immigrants, however, were required to make oaths of allegiance before receiving land grants. Files containing these oaths and petitions for citizenship are found at the Provincial Archives.

Current Records[edit | edit source]

Records created after 1917 are more detailed than earlier records and are found at:

Citizenship and Immigration Canada
Public Rights Administration
360 Laurier Ave West 10th floor
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1
