Well Friends,
On Friday 13th November I took the Oath and finally became a citizen. It was an emotional moment for me personally it concluded a 10 year journey, I came to this great country when I was 19 as a student, over the course of a decade my high points kept changing from Graduation to landing my first job to struggles of a sluggish economy, but keeping focused on my goal I finally became a PR and now I have completed the entire journey I was quiet emotional.
The ceremony started a little after 11:00, at the counter they checked my COPR took my PR card and Prohibitions form. After being seated the CJ entered and delivered a speech, he added in some good spots on weather and how this was an amazing journey for all of us, we then said the OATH, lined up to get our citizenship certificate and finally sang the national anthem as new and proud Canadians. The whole ceremony lasted just a little over an hour after which we were told to wait 2 business days before applying for Passport which will be coming Wednesday for me.
I have to thank esteemed members for all the support and helpful suggestions I learned a lot about the process and to all who are waiting best of luck the process has improved significantly compared to past years so have some patience and I pray for all to enjoy the emotional moment of when you take the OATH and take your Canadian Citizenship Certificate and reminisce your journey whether easy or hard it will be complete.
