The waiting period to become a citizen is typically three to five years, not seven. This period is designed to allow individuals to establish ties to the country and demonstrate their commitment to becoming a citizen. It includes fulfilling residency requirements, passing language and civics exams, and meeting other qualifying criteria. The waiting period helps ensure that individuals have a genuine intention to integrate into the society and contribute to their new country.
