About this category
Becoming a citizen runs in three stages: officials review your application, you sit the citizenship test, and — if you pass — you attend a citizenship ceremony where you swear or affirm the Oath of Citizenship, sign the form and are handed your Canadian Citizenship Certificate. The Oath itself, and what it means to pledge loyalty to the Sovereign, is part of what you should know.
