Unit 3: The Canadian Tale (Tle G1)

 A Very Attractive Country

The document under study is a video from Citizenship and immigration Canada, published in 2015.

We have learned the reasons why people move to Canada, it is to start a new life, to escape war or political conflicts from their country of origin, to feel safe and have a prosperous life in Canada.

The immigration process to become a citizen takes 3 years to complete. In fact, the newcomers must learn the languages, the geography and the history of the country, the rights and responsibilities of a Canadian citizen.

On top of that, they have to undergo health and security checks. At the end of the process, they are invited to take part in a citizenship ceremony in which people in charge of the organization (citizenship judges) are very involved and committed in the integration and welcoming the newly citizens. At the end of the ceremony, the newly citizens take the oath of citizenship and they all sing the national anthem entitled “Ô Canada”.

To conclude, the video conveys an image of Canada as an open-minded and multicultural country. Moreover, it is portrayed as a heartwarming and welcoming country in which every citizen is part of a brotherhood. There is a willingness to create a genuine bond with one another. They strongly believe that everyone can be beneficial for the well-being of the country.
