Canadian Citizenship Certificate
A citizenship certificate is a paper or electronic document that proves Canadian citizenship. It is not a travel document. Canadian citizens typically use a Canadian passport for international travel. This screen shows what is linked to your Digital Canada profile.

Program note
Citizenship certificate not on file; permanent resident credentials active.
If you became a citizen and need to update this profile, use the official application channels on Canada.ca. You may be asked to submit a citizenship certificate number, date of citizenship, or other evidence depending on the service you access.
Many residents hold permanent resident cards long before obtaining citizenship; the wallet therefore shows PR credentials alongside a not-held citizenship certificate as a realistic training combination.
Passport and proof of citizenship
For many services, a Canadian passport satisfies proof of citizenship. If you are renewing a passport, your application may reference your citizenship certificate or other documents. Use the Passport Renewal section of this portal to track an in-flight application.
