Look for the closest Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada office. Although you may not have one in your town or city there will be one responsible for your area. Contact them and inquiry about hosting a ceremony in your community or at a special event. They often travel from their office to other communities in the area they are responsible for and look for hosts. It’s a great feel good event and although we didn’t actively promote membership we did get an opportunity to let them know what we were all about while celebrating the new citizens and Canada. |
