Hello everyone,
I’ve just submitted my citizenship applications for myself and my kids, despite the potential risks. I firmly believe that I must face any challenges head on, as waiting a few more years would only prolong the inevitable. Delaying now could mean facing the same proceedings and delays later on.
Interestingly, my brother recently received a letter at my old address in my home country. The letter stated that, based on intelligence reports, my citizenship there has been "doubtfully revoked," and I was instructed to appear at an office in the capital city. When I checked their online portal using my passport and citizenship numbers, it showed my status as “blocked.”
To be honest, I would never consider returning to that country under any circumstances. I’ve also consulted a lawyer here in Canada, who assured me that I have strong grounds, substantial evidence, and solid reasons to proceed. Ultimately, the decision was mine to make, and I’ve chosen to be proactive and take this step.
I feel confident and happy that I’ve finally applied. Whatever happens next, I’m prepared to face it. Fingers crossed...let’s see what the future holds. Wish me Luck and send good vibes.
I am thrilled and deeply proud to share that I have officially become a Canadian citizen...
This past week, I stood before my fellow Canadians, took the Oath of Citizenship, and felt a profound sense of belonging and joy fill my heart. Everything went smoothly, but the emotions I experienced were unforgettable, pride, gratitude, and a renewed sense of hope.
Thank you to everyone who supported me on this journey. Today, as a citizen, I am more committed than ever to embracing our country's values of kindness, inclusion, and resilience. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Canada. I am honoured and so happy to be home.
