None. The Charter applies to Canadian citizens.

==================================

The above answer is glaringly incorrect.

First, many immigrants are also citizens.

Second, the "Fundamental Freedoms" in section 2 of the Charter are guaranteed to "everyone."

Third, the "Democratic Rights" (voting, etc.) are restricted to citizens.

Fourth, certain of the "Mobility Rights" in section 6 are guaranteed to permanent residents as well as to citizens.

Fifth, the "Legal Rights" and "Equality Rights" (sections 7 to 15) are guaranteed to everyone.

Sixth, the language (i.e., French and English having equal status) rights apply to everyone.

Seventh, minority language rights apply to citizens.

Eighth, everyone has the right to seek redress through the courts for any violation of a right provided by the Charter.
