Can I obtain naturalization and citizenship information from Saskatchewan Archives?
Most information about naturalization and citizenship is not available from Saskatchewan Archives. Citizenship and Immigration Canada holds records of naturalization and citizenship from 1854 to the present. Unfortunately, the originals of records dated between 1854 and 1917 have been destroyed. However, a nominal card index has been maintained and provides information given at the time of naturalization. It includes present and former place of residence, former nationality, occupation, date of certification, name and location of the responsible court. The index rarely contains any other genealogical information. Records created after 1917 are more detailed, indicating the surname, given name, date and place of birth, entry into Canada, and in some cases, the names of spouses and children. Requests for copies of naturalization/citizenship records should be mailed to: Citizenship and Immigration Canada Public Rights Administration 365 Laurier Ave West 15th Floor OTTAWA ON K1A 1L1 A Cana
