How can Canadian students become Canadian citizens?

The following is a detailed process of Canadian students' naturalization written by netizens. I remember when I first came to study in Canada, I thought it was a distant thing to be naturalized after living for three years. But time just goes by at its own pace and rhythm. No matter how long it takes, the predicted ending will always come. Like many people, at the end of three years, I downloaded the form from the Internet, took photos, paid the money, filled in the form and sent the application by registered mail. After more than a month, I received a reply, telling me that it would take about 12 months to complete the application, and attached a book "A glimpse of Canada", which wrote about naturalization. But just four months later, I suddenly received a letter asking me to take the exam in half a month. Take the exam? Does that mean that the naturalization oath will be realized in a month or two? At that time, I was in a trance and reluctant to give up. I felt a little married. This kind of feeling can only be realized when the married daughter gets on the wedding car, so some brides cry at this time-not because they are afraid of the new life of their husband's family, but because they have to step out of the door of their mother's family who gave birth to them for more than 20 years. After reading more than 40 pages of pamphlets carefully, I think the exam is really an effective way to let the "newcomer" system know about Canada. I had a little knowledge of its geography, history and economy before, and even the first nations and Indians could not compare with it. I'm also at a loss about politics. I just watch the Conservative MPs in Congress fiddle with the Liberal Party to step down on TV all day (they set the day of the "palace coup" as my examination day); It is more ambiguous about the rights and obligations of citizens and the procedure of general election. Let it be. After reviewing before the exam, my eyes suddenly opened up. Just a little criticism of the oath listed in it: it is reasonable to swear to abide by the law and perform civic duties, but it is a bit formal to be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, her descendants and heirs wholeheartedly. Canada is a pragmatic country, but the traditional things are still stubbornly preserved. More than 70 people came to the examination room that day, and it was packed. Two examiners came in through another door. One is a woman in her thirties, with her hair braided, covered with a small net and chewing gum. The other is a man in his forties with a kind face and speaks English. Although he has a strong accent, he explains the exam rules and demonstrations, so some places are confusing. Fortunately, he often repeats them with a swallow. Men are also very humorous. Want to be humorous, can't speak normally, can't answer questions normally. For example, someone asks, "Is it East?" He would say, "What if it were the West?" . First of all, I queued up to check my documents one by one, and was asked whether you had returned to China in the past four years, and whether you were working or studying now. There is a young black man who really doesn't care. We all wrapped the papers in paper. When we saw him, we put them in our back pockets. If the examiner had any requirements, he stretched out his hand and pulled it out from behind without looking back. The verification took an hour and a half, and the actual exam only took half an hour. There are 20 questions, each with four options, and one is blacked out on the answer sheet. There are two questions about civic duty, both of which must be answered correctly. If one of these two questions is answered incorrectly, it will fail. The examiner said that if he failed in the exam, he would take it again six months later. In this way, I am particularly nervous about these two questions, which are obviously simple, but I am not confident even if I look left and right. I am also a person who has participated in countless tests. I feel that the organization of this test is not rigorous enough and the handling of details is not perfect enough. For example, every page is wrapped in transparent plastic paper, but when the light flashes, it is obvious that there is a circle left by the previous candidate's answer. A few days after the exam, I received a letter asking me to take the oath a week later. That is to say, it only takes half a year from application to completion, so the efficiency of government departments has improved? Or is the processing speed in our area fast? In a word, I can vote in the general election in January. I'm not the kind of person with foresight. Things are often done at that stage, so I think I should check my passport online. After the investigation, I will see how long it will take to get a visa to return to China. Fortunately, the Consulate General in Toronto recently released the following news: 1. Relax the application for multiple visits to relatives for half a year or one year: all Canadian citizens who were born in China and obtained Canadian citizenship can apply for multiple visits to relatives for half a year or one year; 2. Simplify the application for multiple-entry visas for six months or one year: Anyone who can apply for multiple-entry visas for six months or one year can apply for multiple-entry visas as long as they can provide letters from our company or China company. Now it seems that the restrictions are gradually relaxing and developing in a good direction. On the day of taking the oath of naturalization, the weather was fine, and the snow on the road retreated to both sides, and pedestrians looked at it with peace of mind. I arrived on time and saw some people taking the exam together. There is a girl who was naked last time and put on makeup this time. She is very charming. 80 people from more than 20 countries took the oath. Hand over the maple leaf card, stamp the immigration document, the judge speaks, takes an oath, issues a citizen card, takes an oath to sign and plays the national anthem. Finally, everyone shouted together: I am Canadian. At this point, the ceremony ended and lasted for one and a half hours. One thing to mention is that the oath is like this: everyone raises their right hands, the judge says a word, and everyone repeats it. Speaking of French, of course, everyone parrots. Just after learning the first sentence, your honor stopped and said, you speak very well. Everyone laughed. It turns out that swearing can be so casual When can I become a Canadian citizen? I'm waiting for this day to come.
