Gentile Venue, Montreal, Quebec
Montreal recently hosted a heartwarming Canadian citizenship ceremony at the elegant Gentile Venue on September 26, 2023. The event was a celebration of the participants’ journey to becoming Canadian citizens, as it is a pivotal moment in the lives of many newcomers who have chosen Canada as their new home.
Presiding Official Jacques Duchesneau administered the oath of citizenship and celebrated 34 individuals from 15 countries as Canadian citizens.

The participants, dressed in their finest attire and took the oath of citizenship with pride. Afterwards, each new citizen waved a Canadian flag as a symbol of their pride in Canada. The national anthem, “O Canada,” then echoed through the venue, filling the hearts of everyone present with a sense of unity and belonging.
Among the new Canadian citizens in Montreal were many individuals who shared their journey of moving to Canada. They were in search of a better life for their future family. As we celebrate these new citizens and their aspirations, we are reminded of the values that make Canada a beacon of hope and opportunity. These individuals have started their families here and work hard every day for their loved ones to have the best future they could possibly have as Canadians.
