Today you wrote the Citizenship test. If you Pass this test you will be notified by mail to attend a Citizenship ceremony. This may take between 2 to 6 months. If you Fail this test, you will be notified by mail in the near future to appear for a hearing with a Citizenship Judge for an oral interview.
Hmm. I hope I passed. The question where we had to name Canada's national anthem was pretty tricky.
Did they ask about Lord Durham's report? I'm pretty sure it was important.

Posted by: michal on December 1, 2003 11:56 AMdid they make you renounce your criminal-aussie ways?
Posted by: beth on December 1, 2003 12:56 PMOnce again, Durham's contribution to the Canadian socio-political landscape was overlooked. No BNA Act either. There was a question about Nunuvut, though. And what to do if you're not a registered voter (hint: call Elections Canada... well, that's the answer, not a hint).
And there will be no renouncing of any of my proud Australian heritage.

It's nice that you still get to be Australian, I think.
