In the pursuit to become a Canadian citizen, people must take and pass the citizenship test.
The test focuses on your knowledge of Canada as follows:
-
what Canada's government is like (including the political system, monarchy, branches of government, and the voting process)
-
Canada's social and cultural history and symbols
-
the history and geography of Canada
-
what the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities of Canadian citizenship are
After you have passed the interview and the citizenship test and fulfilled all other necessary requirements, the last step in the citizenship process is to take an Oath of Citizenship.
Citizenship ceremonies happen all across Canada. A typical ceremony will begin with the clerk of the ceremony explaining when applicants are to stand, how to take the oath, and how they will be called to receive their certificates.
The audience will be asked to rise while the citizenship judge is ushered in. The judge will make a speech and then ask the audience to rise to take the Oath of Citizenship in both official languages.
