      \n
    • applying for a\u00a0minor (under age 18)<\/li>\n
    • a Canadian applying for your\u00a0adopted child born outside Canada<\/li>\n
    • a current or former Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) member applying under the\u00a0fast-track process<\/li>\n

      Children and grandchildren of Canadian citizens<\/h3>\n

      If you have a Canadian parent or grandparent, you may be a Canadian citizen.<\/p>\n

          You don\u2019t need a valid\u00a0PR card\u00a0to apply for citizenship. You can apply with an expired PR card.<\/p>\n
