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.
