Commonwealth citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland of full age/capacity may register after 5 years' residence (Citizenship Act Cap 54 s.5).
Кто имеет право
- Registration of Commonwealth citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland (Cap 54 s.5(1)): upon application in the prescribed manner the Minister MAY register a person of full age and capacity who is a Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland if satisfied of (a) good character; (b) adequate knowledge of English; (c) residence in Grenada and/or Government service throughout a period of 5 years (or a shorter period not less than 12 months in special circumstances as the Minister may accept) immediately preceding the application; and (d) intent to reside / continue Government service. A citizen of the Republic of Ireland or a British protected person must take the oath of allegiance [s.5(2)]. - NO CARICOM/Caribbean reduced-years naturalisation or registration track exists in Grenadian law. Cap 54 provides only s.5 (Commonwealth/Irish registration, 5-year period) and s.7 (alien naturalisation, 12mo+5/7yr); ss.5A-5E are marked Repealed in the consolidated arrangement. The ONLY CARICOM-specific feature in the primary law is a distinct naturalisation FEE category of EC$3,000 in the Eighth Schedule (Grenada Citizenship Regulations) — not a reduced residence period. Secondary 'CARICOM 4 years' assertions have no statutory or official-regulation basis (treated as secondary-template contamination, not asserted as fact).

Eligible to register under Cap 54 s.5 after 5 years' residence.
Cap 54 s.5 lets a Commonwealth citizen (or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland) of full age and capacity register as a Grenadian after 5 years' residence. Jamaica is a Commonwealth member, so the Jamaican qualifies for the s.5 registration route (fee EC$250), which is distinct from and lighter than the s.7 alien naturalisation route. There is, however, no CARICOM-specific reduced-years track — the period is 5 years.
Eligible to register under Cap 54 s.5 — Republic of Ireland citizens are expressly included.
Cap 54 s.5 extends registration to 'Commonwealth citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland' of full age and capacity after 5 years' residence. The Irish citizen has 6 years' residence and so qualifies for s.5 registration (not s.7 alien naturalisation — an Irish citizen is, by Cap 54 s.2(1)'s definition, not an 'alien'). Fee EC$250.
Not yet eligible — the s.5 route requires 5 years' residence.
Although Canada is a Commonwealth member (so the s.5 route is the correct one and the lighter EC$250 fee applies), Cap 54 s.5 conditions registration on 5 years' residence. With only ~2 years, the Canadian must accrue more time. Frequent visits without establishing residence do not count toward the 5 years.
As a REGISTRATION citizen he is within scope of s.9 deprivation (for fraud at acquisition), but the s.9(3)(c) 12-month-sentence ground applies specifically to NATURALISED citizens; either way due process applies.
Cap 54 s.9(1) brings both registration and naturalisation citizens within deprivation scope. The fraud/false-representation ground (s.9(2)(a)) applies to him as a registration citizen. The disloyalty/wartime/12-month-sentence grounds in s.9(3) are framed for a citizen 'by naturalisation'; a s.5 Commonwealth REGISTRATION citizen is registered, not naturalised, so s.9(3)(c) is not squarely his ground. Any deprivation requires the s.9(5)/(6) notice-and-inquiry due process (Ehsan). Birth/descent citizens remain protected (Const s.99(2)).
