Canadian citizenship is one of the most valued and sought-after statuses in the world.
Canadian citizens have a number of very important rights that permanent residents of Canada do not, including the right vote, run for office, hold a Canadian passport and remain a Canadian citizen without maintaining a residence in Canada.
