Canadian Citizenship Ceremony

Last updated: 28 February 2024

The Canadian Citizenship Ceremony is a special event in which you will become a full-fledged Canadian citizen.

Applicants who successfully complete the citizenship test and interview will be invited to a citizenship ceremony. All applicants are required to sing the Canadian national anthem and say the Oath of Citizenship to Canada in either English or French before a judge. Once complete, they will be granted their Canadian citizenship.

Canada's Oath of Citizenship

English: I swear (or affirm) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, King of Canada, His Heirs and Successors and that I will faithfully observe the laws of Canada including the Constitution which recognises and affirms the Aboriginal and treaty rights First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.

French: Je jure (ou j'affirme solennellement) que je serai fidèle et porterai sincère allégeance à Sa Majesté le roi Charles Trois roi du Canada à ses Héritiers et Successeurs que j'observerai fidèlement les lois du Canada y compris la Constitution qui reconnaît et confirme les droits ancestraux ou issus de traités des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis et que je remplirai loyalement mes obligations de citoyen Canadien.

Canada's National Anthem

English:

O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love

in all of us command. With glowing hearts

we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free! From far and wide,

O Canada,

we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land

glorious and free!

O Canada,

we stand on guard for thee. O Canada,

we stand on guard for thee.

French:

O Canada!

Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux. Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,

Il sait porter la croix. Ton histoire est une épopée,

Des plus brillants exploits. Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits. Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
