Latin American Heritage Month
On October 25, ICC hosted an Enhanced Citizenship Ceremony in Montreal. In a beautiful blend of tradition and modernity, the ceremony celebrated Latin American Heritage Month. This is a time for newcomers and Canadians to celebrate and recognize the contributions of Latin American communities to the country’s cultural mosaic.
Citizenship Judge Rania Sfeir administered the oath of citizenship and celebrated 41 individuals from 19 countries as Canadian citizens.

ICC’s Roundtable Discussions give new citizens and their guests a chance to meet other people who are sharing this special day with them before the ceremony begins. Bonds and memories form at these tables as people talk about their journeys, struggles, and ultimately their triumphs.
“In 2019, I started my journey to Canada, and, I must admit, adapting to this new land was quite challenging. However, in 2021, a beautiful addition to my family arrived – my baby. After that, I realized that I had made sacrifices to secure a better future for my family. I now proudly call Canada my home.” – New Canadian Citizen
For many, home represents not just a physical location, but a deep and emotional connection to their roots and their futures. This ceremony underscored that every new citizen embraced their Canadian home. As Montreal continues to be a beacon of multiculturalism, moments like these reinforce the city’s commitment to welcoming and celebrating people from all corners of the globe.
