YES!

But, to become a Canadian citizen by naturalization, you must first become a permanent resident of Canada. The process majorly involves the following steps.

STEP 1: Obtain a Study Permit in Canada and graduate from a Canadian Designated Learning Institute (DLI).

STEP 2: Apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) and gain Canadian Work Experience. Many of Canada’s permanent residency immigration programs privilege applicants who have connections to Canada, either with ties to a specific province, Canadian work experience, or a Canadian educational credential.

STEP 3: Apply for Canada PR under either Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or an employer-driven Provincial Nominee Program (PNP). Canadian permanent residents must have lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days (three years) out of the past five years before applying for Canadian citizenship (with some exceptions).

STEP 4: Apply for Canadian Citizenship.

Hope this helps.
