Santa given Canadian citizenship during immigration ceremony in Calgary
The Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney reaffirmed Santa Claus as a Canadian citizen last week.
The reaffirment was made during a special Canadian Immigration ceremony last week where 100 new citizens from 32 countries were also sworn in.
“We wish Mr. Claus all the best in his Christmas Eve duties again this year,” said Minister Kenney.
“And rest assured, as a Canadian citizen living in Canada’s North, he can re-enter Canada freely once his trip around the world is complete.”
Minister Kenney said the day was an important one for Canada’s newest citizens.
“Today, our history also becomes their history, and their future becomes our future.”
The guide focuses on the rights and responsibilities of Canadian citizens, and on Canada’s military, scientific, and artistic achievements; and its symbols, values, and institutions. It also provides information on Canada’s North, where the Government is advancing an integrated Northern Strategy.
“The Government continues to invest in measures that exercise Canada’s sovereignty and create more economic opportunities in the North,” said Minister Kenney. “We want to ensure that Santa and all Northern peoples benefit from the considerable progress that has been made.”
