Naturalization and Citizenship

Online Records

• Naturalization Records, 1915–1951

Oaths of Allegiance

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

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