Royal couple to witness Canada Day immigration ceremony
As part of their visit to Canada, Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge will attend a Canadian immigration ceremony at the Canadian Museum of Civilization on Canada Day this Friday.
The Canadian immigration citizenship ceremony is a Canada Day event that will see 25 residents of Ottawa and Gatineau will take the oath of citizenship and become Canadian citizens.
The 25 migrants were chosen by officials at Citizenship and Immigration Canada's Ottawa and Gatineau regional offices. All had written and passed a citizenship test and met all other requirements. They range in age from seven to 47.
Though most citizenship ceremonies are open to the public, this one is not, due to the presence of the royal couple. However, members of the public will be allowed on the museum's ground and will be able to see HRH William and Catherine as they arrive at 10:30 AM and then again when they depart about an hour later.
The oath at the ceremony will be administered by Gov. Gen. David Johnston. The new citizens will be congratulated and welcomed by Prince William and Duchess Catherine, and also be presented with a Canadian flag.
