We are really happy to be CANADIANS 
Honestly, you never stop being impressed by this wonderful country. Our ceremony was SPECTACULAR. It lasted a little bit over 5 hours but you didn’t have time to get bored. Lots of people volunteering, helping and happy that you were becoming a Canadian Citizen. Only 80 candidates to become citizens but over a 100 volunteers just to make it happen. This is a brief step-by-step description of the ceremony:
a. Arrived to the ceremony center and we were welcomed to enter the facility
b. We line in order to check our documentation and paperwork
c. They took our permanent resident cards away (Make sure you take a picture as a nice memory) and stamped our Landed Immigrant Form (the stamp says: “NO LONGER A PERMANENT RESIDENT)
d. We entered a room for round table discussions (lasted 1 hour and a half)
e. After that, we entered the Ceremony Room.
f. They gave us quick instructions on how the process was going to be
g. Judge and RCMP arrived and started the ceremony
h. We took the Oath and received our Citizenship Cards
i. Time for the National Anthem
j. Ceremony closing
k. Entertainment acts.
Just to mention, during the entire process, food, beverages, information, services were available and everything was DONATED! and the people were VOLUNTEERS! Once you have the time to be here, at the ceremony, you realize how important are immigrants to this country…they make you feel part of this community. Honestly, I cannot find any words to describe the feeling…
Questions or comments are welcome…
