just out of interest from anyone who has actually made the move how long does the process take from landing in canada to become a canadian citizen also can you leave canada while you are waiting to become a citizen ? what rights do you have ? many thanks
It takes at least three years, plus any time away from Canada,(you can leave and return but this will cause delay with citizenship), plus the time to process the application,which can be several months.

This is from the Canadian Imigration and Citizenship website. It has all the information you need including a citizenship eligibility calculator.
