Re: Citizenship
Actually, it was interesting reading the first part of the wikipedia entry on him ...........
our very first visit to Canada was in 1967 to go to Expo 67 in Montreal ........ and we stayed in a new B&B cum private hotel place in Boucherville!
It just seemed like a very blue collar type of place, where people were outside cutting their grass with scissors at midnight

Re: Citizenship
Wikipedia says
"the first Canadian to become Prime Minister of the United Province of Canada and the first head of a responsible government in Canada."
and a Bridge-Tunnel
No, I didn't know Boucherville had gone a bit more "up-market"
We've been back to Montreal several times since, including last summer, but haven't gone to look at Boucherville again. Too much to see and enjoy in Montreal.
In addition to longer stays in Montreal, we take the train from Vancouver to Halifax, both ways if possible, at least every other Christmas. Since VIA re-did their timetable with cut backs in service, we have to stay overnight in either Toronto or Montreal. Not much thought needed there
We get a night and a day in Montreal each way ....... and usually score a deal to stay at the QE

Re: Citizenship
But.....
To me the test was very closely linked to what was in the book provided, and if you read it all the answers were clear and easy
It seems much closer to a reading comprehension test based on the book rather than Canadian knowledge
one might go so far as to suggest its a language test in disguise..?

As I've only taken the test once, this is only an opinion and may be completely off the mark....

Re: Citizenship
We have sent in for the PR renewal card and we have also sent in our Citizenship forms. My PR renewal card came back after 3month wait....just collected the new card last Friday....yippee....mind you our first attempt on collating all the bloody information for Canadian citizenship forms and they sent it back as we did not demonstrate we could read and write English.....muppets......of course once you reach the age of 55years old you no longer have to show you understand English....I suppose they think you just stop talking.....lol
