For adult permanent residents.

Count your days. You must have been physically present in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the five years before you apply. Some days as a temporary resident or protected person before you became a permanent resident can count as half days, up to a limit. IRCC has a physical presence calculator on canada.ca.
Check that you filed your taxes, if required, for at least 3 of the 5 years before you apply.
If you are 18 to 54, show proof of English or French language ability and prepare for the citizenship test.
Check for anything that could prevent citizenship, such as charges, probation, a removal order, or a past misrepresentation.
Apply online.
Take the test and attend an interview if asked.
If approved, take the oath of citizenship at a ceremony.

Timing depends on how complete your application is, whether IRCC asks for more proof of presence, and when tests and ceremonies are scheduled. Check IRCC’s processing times page.
