Citizenship Tests: Citizenship Ceremony

Montreal Gazette Dept: At a citizenship ceremony in Vancouver for 45 new Canadians, Kenney outlined several changes to Discover Canada, the country's popular study guide used for preparing for citizenship tests, according to Montreal Gazette. "The guide is being read by a wide variety of people from citizenship applicants to students and families. And it has sparked a national conversation about who we are as Canadians." Newcomers referring to Canada's citizenship study guide will find changes including sections that outline an emphasis on Canada's democratic principles, recognition that gay and lesbian couples have access to marriage and that forced marriage is not tolerated in the country, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced Monday. "We expect people who want to become Canadians to have a good understanding of their rights and responsibilities and the values and institutions that are rooted in Canada's history," he said in a statement. As reported in the news.
