In a chat with Legit.ng, a Nigerian woman in Canada, Harriet George, shared her intention for herself and her family to become Canadian citizens.
She said:
"I've been in Canada for up to a year and five months, and we are working towards getting our citizenship. But before you get your citizenship, you have to get your permanent residence, which is called PRO. We got our PRO last year, September because my husband had been here since 2021.
"So after that, you stay in Canada for two years or three years to get your citizenship. That's what we're working on. Once we can work towards getting our citizenship, we can travel to any country we want."
