Abstract Immigrants ascend to citizenship at differential rates in Canada. This paper investigates the economic costs and benefits\rderived from citizenship to rationalize the differential rates of immigrant citizenship ascension. Canadian earnings evidence\rconfirms the sizeable economic benefits of citizenship and a decomposition analysis attributes this benefit to self-selection,\rnamely the more productive immigrants become Canadian citizens.\r
