Reflections from new citizens
What is the one thing that best represents Canada to you?
“I immigrated because I couldn’t imagine a better place to live. What’s not to like? There is immeasurable beauty in this country, in both the landscape and the people. And, you play hockey!”
“Nature and Canada’s vast expanses. Canada is such a beautiful country. I’m looking forward to the privilege of enjoying all the freedoms and responsibilities that come with Canadian citizenship.”
“The people in Canada are nice and it is the people that make this country safe and a good place to live.”
“For me, it’s multiculturalism and unlimited opportunity.”
