I live abroad and applied online. How will I get my citizenship certificate?

If you asked for an electronic certificate (e-certificate) in your application

A link with instructions to access to your e-certificate will be available in your IRCC secure account (opens in a new tab) .

If you asked for a paper certificate in your application

• we will not send the certificate directly to you
• when you apply online, you can choose the Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate office near you
  • Some of these offices do not have citizenship services. If the office that you want is not on the list in your online application, you have 2 options:
    • choose a different office, for example, the next closest office to your region, or
    • contact the office in your area to help you choose

    Thank you for your feedback
