Received my certificate at the oath ceremony yesterday. I’m a Canadian as of yesterday!
I really appreciate the help that was extended throughout the application process. And though I will not be very active anymore but my DMs remain open should anyone need any help especially for those applying from outside of Canada like me.

LPP marked completed today. Oath : not started.
Full timeline in signature.
I visited the MP's office last week. That might have triggered something.

Hi guys, Just have a question regarding citizenship Application. I enrolled in early childhood education last year sept 2022 but I withdrawn from the program after one semester so I only completed 1 semester. Do I need to mention this on the background form? Do I need to put withdrawn under type of certificate or diploma issued?
