"International research suggests that some immigrants enhance their “mobility capital” by obtaining citizenship in their receiving country. This article explores the potential relationship between acquiring Canadian citizenship and maintaining an active presence in Canada, as measured by the filing of income taxes. Overall, the proportion of immigrants who were active after 10 years was much higher among immigrants who were citizens than among those who were not. Moreover, active presence has increased among more recent immigrant cohorts, regardless of citizenship status. The analysis further reveals that about 2% of naturalized immigrants ceased their active presence in Canada from one year before to one year after obtaining citizenship. However, this decline in active presence was smaller than the annual decrease of about 3 percentage points among immigrants who did not acquire citizenship. These results indicate that a very small proportion of immigrants shifted from an active to an inactive presence in Canada after acquiring citizenship. For most immigrants, little change in their active presence status was associated with naturalization. These findings suggest that immigrants who choose to become Canadian citizens are highly committed to staying in Canada"--Abstract, page 5. Citizenship Canada Statistics.
