Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us.

You will need a valid travel document to re-enter Canada. Valid travel documents for residents re-entering Canada include:
Carry a valid Canadian passport for all visits abroad, including visits to the United States (U.S.). It is the only universally accepted identification document, and it proves that you have a right to return to Canada.



Now that you are a citizen and eligible for a Canadian passport, you may want to apply for one. You can find information on how to apply for a passport from inside or outside Canada here: https://settlement.org/ontario/immigration-citizenship/citizenship/canadian-passport/

We hope this information is helpful, please follow up with us if you need any further information.

Sincerely,

Your Settlement.Org Team

You can apply for a Canadian passport after receiving your citizenship certificate. The processing time can vary, so it's crucial to plan ahead and apply as soon as possible.
