[@619WWEFAN]

I hope that not only you get your citizenship ceremony soon, but that you will get your citizenship certificate flawlessly. I had to wait around 9 months after my exam for the ceremony While the ceremony itself went well, waiting for the certificate….was another story. So they did say it takes around 2 weeks to get the certificate, but there was some problems In summary: there was confusion with my old location, new location, and the immigration lawyer location. So my original certificate was everywhere except my new location. 5 months and no luck, so the lawyer had a serious chat with immigration, and I got my new certificate a week after that 😅 Funnily enough, my original certificate was discovered 😂 I really have no idea what happened, what went wrong. But I was very nervous cause even though in the system I am definitely a citizen, I couldn’t apply for a Canadian passport without this certificate. And i had no passport at all, and my country of origin they made getting a new passport almost impossible. So I was beyond relieved once it was finally all over 😅 It was a wild journey. But finally I have Canada as my home 🇨🇦❤️

[@MakeThatChange]

Congratulations on Canadian citizenship🎉 and thank you for sharing your experience!

[@619WWEFAN]

Seeing this video gave me a ptsd flashback when I had to prepare for my Canadian citizenship exam. And this was for several reasons 😅 1. I’m terrible at exams and memorizing. It was a huge struggle at school, so having to do it again was emotionally horrifying for me 😅 2. Despite I applied during Covid and the website said post exam interviews were cancels, I was still worried about that part. I’m shy and very introverted. 3. The website said if you fail twice? You have to speak to someone and do the test once more (and above the fear of speaking for me applies here too). But additionally if you fail the 3rd time? They refuse your application and have to start all over again. And that was a scary thought I found a video that had both the discover Canada booklet and the audio combined together. So I used that over and over. I did the exam, was shaking, first try….I passed 17 out of 20 😁

[@lifefordummies]

Interesting fact. When Newfoundlanders voted to Join Canada in 1948 it was a close call. 52.3% voted in favor of joining while the rest wanted to remain independant. Part of the deal was supposed to include free ferry service from the island to the rest of Canada as it would be considered a part of the Trans Canada Highway. This promise of course was a lie and we have to pay to get on the ferry and it is quite expensive.

[@MakeThatChange]

That's fascinating, thanks for sharing😊

[@keithpalmer4547]

Well you could have joined Canada or the USA. Being independent as Newfoundland by yourselves makes ZERO economic sense. As an American in Canada I assure you it was better to join Canada. Someday both nations may be joined though, if the USA can get their act together on Health Care.

[@helen-matthews-usa]

Отличное видео, большое спасибо! Вы с Вашего ноута сдавали тест? У меня также как и у Вас - ноутбук и плюс дополнительный большой экрана для desktop компьютера на столе в одном месте. Не придирутся они, что два экрана рядом? Еще я также прочитала комментарий к одному из видео - какой-то человек ответил правильно на все 20 вопросов, но ему не засчитали, потому что не видели его глаза, а он был абсолютно уверен, что камера была включена так как он делал фото ID, но во время теста он себя на экране почему-то не видел. Некоторые люди тоже говорили, что не видели себя на экране почему-то, хотя камера была включена. Что-то я теперь переживаю...

[@MakeThatChange]

Здравствуйте! Да, тест я сдавала с ноутбука. Вторым экраном в этот момент не пользовалась и на него не смотрела. Пожалуйста, внимательно прочитайте письмо с инструкциями к тесту, которое придет к вам на имейл, там будет все пошагово описано: с каких устройств можно проходить тест, какие предпринять шаги перед прохождением, что надо дать разрешение камере на запись, и т.д. Вы себя видеть не будете, вы будете видеть только тест во время прохождения. Удачи!

[@helen-matthews-usa]

@@MakeThatChange Спасибо! А ещё можно вопрос - вы в качестве ID использовали карту вида на жительство? Просто в письме написано, что нужен личный документ с фотографией и подписью и это может быть Permanent Residency "A photo identification (ID) with your signature on it, such as o your permanent resident (PR) card (even if it’s expired)". Но ведь подпись не ставится в этой карте (ну по крайней мере у меня такая, на которой нет подписи, только фото мое). Что-то я не поняла этот момент.
