Citizenship Status: Where to put it?

Citizenship Status: Where to put it?

I'm applying for a few Canada jobs. I've been in the US for a long time, but am a Canadian. Most of the Canadian jobs will say "Preference given to Canadian citizens." Where can I put this on my application? Just say it in the cover letter?

I usually see it included on the CV in the same place as contact information/personal details. You can also mention it in the cover letter.

Thanks VD! That makes sense :-) I don't like to put it on US applications because then it might scare them about immigration status, but I'll make the change for the Canadian apps.
