CIC: Oath Of Citizenship

Citizenship And Immigration Canada Dept: The mix-up took place at a March 29 ceremony, CIC said in a letter to the 's Evan Dyer, according to CBC. "Subsequently, it was found that the officer made a mistake in the determination that the oath was not taken. The office has been attempting to contact the candidate to rectify the situation." A government official wrongly denied an immigrant his Canadian citizenship because he wrongly believed the man was mouthing the oath of citizenship rather than repeating it out loud, Citizenship and Immigration Canada says. "A citizenship officer at the ceremony determined that the candidate was not articulating the words of the Oath of Citizenship," said CIC spokeswoman Mary Jago. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
