Common questions

What is the application for citizenship by descent?: It's IRCC form CIT 0001 — the Application for a Citizenship Certificate (proof of citizenship). Under Bill C-3, people born abroad to a Canadian parent, grandparent, or earlier ancestor can apply. arryv completes the form and the supporting package from your answers.
How long does the application take to prepare?: Most people finish the questionnaire in a single sitting. The package — form, cover letter, chain of descent, family tree, and document checklist — is generated in minutes.
Do I need a lawyer to apply?: No. The application is a paper form plus supporting documents. arryv was built with a Canadian-trained lawyer to assemble it correctly, at a fraction of typical legal fees.
What does it cost?: $149 with code SUMMER26 (normally $249), one time. The eligibility quiz is free, and if you don't qualify we tell you before you pay anything.
