jrjayl said:My journey has come to an end today for citizenship. I had my ceremony today and it was very good experience ( despite of the waiting part)
For Montreal the location for me was at centre hellenique, I arrived 30 minutes earlier than the time indicated on the notice, and there were a lot of people waiting at the door already. We started line up about 15 minutes befn ore the posted time which was 12:30PM. After going in they had me show all my original documents including PR card, landing paper, and two extra pieces of IDs (driver's license and health card will do), then the PR card will be taken away and I was told to go find my seat. Each seat is numbered and there is a number on the notice of oath too. The staff gave me some booklets about the oath too.
Then there was this long wait for like an hour until the very last candidate came into the room and everything was checked. Then the presiding officials came into the room including the judge. She gave a speech on the importance of citizenship and congratulated everybody. We took the oath thereafter. Then everyone will wait in line to receive their citizenship certificate. The judge will have some final words and close the session at the end.
If you want to take picture with the judge, you need to wait in line after the ceremony. But it was too hot and too many people waiting so I just left. I thank everybody who has given suggestions, and sincerely wish best of luck to all. Meanwhile, I will keep actively following this thread and keep sharing experiences/opinions.
