Long road, but worth the trip

I was sworn in on March 21, 2006. It still feels a bit strange to be one of Queen Elizabeth’s loyal subjects, but all told it feels pretty darned cool.

Almost Home

I recieved my summons to take the Oath of Citizenship! On March 21, 2006 I’ll officially be Canadian.
Unlike a lot of Americans, I don’t share any particular shame about being from the States. Sure, I hate our foreign policy and am incensed (daily) by the shenanigans of the political forces in power, but despite those things, I love the nation of my birth. I didn’t become Canadian to turn my back on the United States; I became Canadian because it’s my home and I’m deeply committed to upholding the duties and responsibilities of living here, much as I did when I lived in the United States.
I’m perfectly content to straddle the border, with one foot firmly planted in two countries.
I Passed the Test!
3 years ago
After five years and some deeply conflicted feelings about the country of my birth (the US), I sat for the Canadian Citizenship exam on 13 Feb 2006. I knew as soon as I opened the booklet that I would pass the test. All that is left is receiving my official results in the mail and the appointment for my swearing in ceremony.
