For those who choose to become citizens of Canada, the journey ends and begins again with a citizenship ceremony. Little Canada, a museum that shows the entire country in miniature form, creates a unique environment for this significant event. As we entered the venue, the miniature cities came to life, offering a mesmerizing spectacle of Canada’s beauty. It was here that the new citizens would take the Oath of Citizenship and officially become Canadians.

Citizenship Judge Albert Wong administered the oath of citizenship and celebrated 36 individuals from 17 countries as Canadian citizens on September 12, 2023.

MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam joined us for the ceremony to celebrate with the new citizens. She joined ICC’s Roundtable Discussions and participated in the conversations that bond new citizens and their families on this special day.

“Whether you chose Canada, or Canada chose you, all of our shared experiences connect us and make Canada better.”
– MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam

Canada is a country that embraces its newcomers, and Little Canada beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this nation. From the grandeur of its landscapes to the warmth of its people, there is so much to discover and cherish in Canada. We hope that new citizens can explore this incredible country, one province at a time, and contribute to its vibrant tapestry of cultures and traditions. Our citizenship ceremony at Little Canada was just the beginning of a lifelong journey in this land of endless possibilities.

“Canada is a country that takes a lifetime to discover.” – MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam
