Canadian citizens celebrate Citizenship Week
During Citizenship Week from May 22 to 28, 2023, Canadian citizens celebrate the achievement of exceeding citizenship goals, with nearly 364,000 new citizens.
The final step in becoming a Canadian citizen is the citizenship ceremony, during which participants take the Oath of Citizenship. Close to 13,000 new Canadians will be welcomed this year at nearly 100 planned ceremonies.
An average of almost 30,000 permanent residents of Canada have taken the Oath of Citizenship monthly between April 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023, exceeding pre-COVID-19 volumes.
Everyone who has the chance to participate in citizenship ceremonies finds it to be an emotional and meaningful experience. They offer a chance to witness brand-new Canadians achieve this great milestone and to reflect on the importance of citizenship, the rights it grants, and the duties it carries. A commitment to Canada and all Canadians is essential for citizenship.

The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration of Canada, has formally declared May 22–May 28 as Citizenship Week 2023. The citizenship ceremonies that are scheduled to take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and Vancouver, British Columbia, are ceremonies that the minister is excited to attend.
