So last Friday I had my ceremony in Montreal at La Plaza Salle Ambassadeur.
The event was well organized. Everything took 45 minutes from the moment that the 2 judges entered the room, until they closed the event. That excludes the part where people stay longer to have a picture with the judges.
So the event happened like this:
1) 2 agents from CIC gave the instructions on how the event was going to deploy.
2) The 2 judges entered the room. We were 275 people and 50 guests (aprox).
3) The younger judge (a woman) introduced the older judge (man). The judge with more experience had written 20 books and everybody was clapping about it. Since the beginning everybody was excited for every single detail and people were clapping for any single reason. Of course, because the event was touching every person.
4) The judge with more experience welcomed everybody and explained the importance of immigration for Canada and he talked about his family, his roots and how we were all becoming citizens of the world.
5) We proceeded to the oath in both languages. All the CIC agents were checking that we were actually saying it.
6) CIC proceeded to deliver the certificates for later sign the papers.
7) We sang the anthem (bilingual version) and the ceremony was closed.
After that, people stayed longer so we could have a picture one on one with the judges. It was a nice event.

In the Certificate that we receive, there is no space for you to sign.
However after you receive your Citizenship Certificate, you will sign a document for CIC.
