This citizenship drive also includes an information session to educate all applicants about the benefits of becoming a citizen of Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Saint Kitts and Nevis is widely regarded as the region’s best-kept secret. Saint Kitts and Nevis abides by the rule of law and enjoys strong bilateral cooperation with other countries, including Canada, built on shared values, and strong people-to-people ties, including through tourism.
The Citizenship Drive will run from October 20th – November 20th, 2022 , and the Consulate will post all the contest details on its website www.skncgtoronto.gov.kn and all other relevant Government social media channels.
