Naturalization and citizenship are federal matters, but are administered by provincial courts on behalf of the federal government. The process of becoming naturalized or obtaining citizenship generates many documents and records, including correspondence, applications, oaths of residence and allegiance, and indexes created by court registries. | Naturalization and citizenship are federal matters, but are administered by provincial courts on behalf of the federal government.

Because naturalization and citizenship are shared by the federal government of Canada and by the provincial government of [[British Columbia]], records are found at both the [http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/index.htm British Columbia Archives] and at [http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-505.003-e.html Citizenship and Immigration Canada]. A database of historic naturalization information is available on the Library and Archives Canada website. | Because naturalization and citizenship are shared by the federal government of Canada and by the provincial government of [[British Columbia Genealogy|British Columbia]], records are found at both the [http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/index.htm British Columbia Archives] and at [http://www.collectionscanada.ca/genealogy/022-505.003-e.html Citizenship and Immigration Canada].
