Hi,

I'm a Brit who's been in Canada for 3 and a bit years now on PR status. I'm applying for Canadian citizenship and hope to become dual national but am unclear on the application fee. On the cic.gc.ca website there's a 'right of citizenship' for $100 and a 'grant of citizenship' for another $100.

Do i need to pay both of these or just one? Also, are there any other fees (apart from getting the photos done) that I haven't taken into account?

Any advice from a Brit that's gone through this process would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I checked my receipt from CIC for my citizenship application and I paid 200$ ....(I am not a Brit, but the prices apply to everyone)

Gatineau. I picked up the phrase from an Ottawa hotel barman about a decade ago.

And before you start asking:

a) the application process is the easiest bit of paperwork you will have had so far in relation to your immigrant status

b) the test is monumentally easy, except for Canadians

I think $200 is really cheap.

I agree, Gatineau (except for the park) is a dump comapred to Ottawa. He was on the money.

Not sure about that. I suspect that most Ottawans' experience of the dark side is limited to bits of south Hull and a few bits of Gatineau-Gatineau that can truly be described as dumps. Once you get well away from those, there are some very nice bits indeed. We keep finding new ones.

It can happen. I've been going to St Hubert quite regularly now for a decade. I was very surprised to be told recently that it has nice bits. I've never seen one.

Sounds like the British citizenship test - read 3 chapters of a book once, and then I answered the 40 question multiple choice test in under 5 minutes. But it was all things that most Brits wouldn't know
