AGE AND CITIZENSHIP CONSIDERATIONS


Age
CUSO is obliged to respect mandatory retirement requirements in countries where cooperants are placed. In some countries, the retirement age may be as low as 55.

Citizenship
CUSO began as a Canadian organization sending Canadian citizens and permanent residents to work overseas, and federal funding today requires CUSO to give preference to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. CUSO is also required to respect the immigration laws of the overseas governments, which may require proof of Canadian citizenship or permanent resident status.


NOTE: Permanent residents should inquire with the appropriate Federal department to ascertain how taking a CUSO placement would affect their application for Canadian citizenship.
