Part 2 - Adoptee’s application will assess the adopted person’s eligibility for Canadian citizenship.

Note: If you choose to begin gathering the required documents for Part 2 in advance, visit our Web site at www.cic.gc.ca. CIC facilitates the process for the adopted person to obtain Canadian citizenship, however, provinces and territories are responsible for adoptions in Canada.
Start by contacting your provincial or territorial government office to get information about adoption. Go to our Web site at www.cic.gc.ca for International Adoption Authorities in Canada. If you reside outside of Canada, contact the government officials of the country where you reside. The following persons should fill out this part of the application: • a Canadian citizen who wants to apply for Canadian citizenship on behalf of: • an adopted person who is under 18 years of age; or • a person who will be adopted in the near future and that person is under 18 years of age; or • a person who was adopted by a Canadian citizen, who is 18 years of age and older and wants to apply for Canadian citizenship; or • a legal guardian or a non-Canadian adoptive parent who wants to apply for Canadian citizenship on behalf of an adopted person under 18 years of age, if the adopted person had at least one Canadian parent at the time of adoption.
