My Canadian Citizenship Ceremony & Getting a Passport ASAP
After moving to Canada in 2017, living there for five years, and spending an additional two and a half years of waiting, I finally became a citizen. It was a long and arduous process; and one I never even planned on going through, but my efforts were finally rewarded in the end.
In this video, I’ll be showing how my in-person citizenship ceremony went and what to expect. The ceremony itself is about an hour long and supposed to be fun, not intimidating! Then a look at how I received my passport the same week as the ceremony. And lastly, a look at my journey from temporary working in Canada to full on citizen.
Note that my path to citizenship is a bit different than usual, but may present an option for you if you wish to make Canada your new home.

Experience Argentina's FAKE Walmart (Hiper Changomas) & Bonus McDonald's Tasting

My mom likes to see grocery stores in other countries, so first and foremost, this is for her. But if you happen to be interested, I traveled to Argentina so you don’t have to. There’s also a bonus McDonald’s tasting at the end. It’s like stepping into a film that didn’t have the rights to explicitly name a brand or entering a parallel universe where Walmart never existed.

12-Hour Layover in Panama City | See the Panama Canal & Old City in One Day

No. But it can be...

    The whole thing is a scam. China Southern airline is owned by the government, and they work with immigration officials to ensure visas are denied for 24 hours stay passengers because China Southern has to provide hotel. I had 22 hours stay and met all their requirements. I have US passport. Still got denied and forced to spend night in the terminal. I asked immigration officer the reason and he repeatedly said, "No Reason". What a bunch of horse shit. Just say, we won't give you hotel and people will get their own hotel. Don't subject them to airport prison. Its inhumane. But that's what China is, inhumane. They don't care. Airport doesn't have hotel. If they are honest, people can make the right decisions about their travel.

    • @laliamatthey
      @laliamatthey 29 днів тому

      The whole review is a lie. China explicitly forbids collusion between government and business, including China Southern Airlines. The only reason a visa to China will be rejected is if you do not provide complete supporting documents or if you have a criminal record in China. According to the requirements of the job, visa officers do not give an unwarranted response to a refusal, as a visa officer friend of mine told me.

    The pizza is sad,😢super thick soggy pizza crust, chicken bake is slimy and bland; gross. They always squeeze the buns when wrapping the hotdogs and their mustard doesn’t pair well with hotdogs. The people who work at the food court are pretty nice but the system is efficient, hence chaotic. My least favorites are the cashiers who are often rude and always talk to each other instead of providing friendly customer service. that’s France 🇫🇷🤣get used to it or get out .
