Soheila Hashemi: Soheila Hashemi was one of 28 people sworn in at a Halifax ceremony Tuesday. She left Iran for a better life in Canada and said shes happy to become a citizen of her new country. , according to CBC. "But I'm just a little bit disappointed because I don't want to be labelled as a second level of Canadian and I believe it is against the human rights laws of Canada, she said. As hundreds of new Canadians became citizens on Canada Day, one woman said shes only a second-class citizen because of a new immigration law. Becoming Canadian is really wonderful. It is a great event for me, she said. 'I'm so happy that I'm a Canadian right now, but I hope the government will review that bill.' - Soheila Hashemi
