NOTICE TO APPEAR
For quite some time now, I've been telling anyone and everyone that I will not get citizenship here in Canada "until Harper is out of office" (because he keeps slashing the budget of the Immigration office).
Today I received a notice sent a week ago, telling me to show up for my citizenship test a week from now. What a shock! I might have to study or something. What are the principal exports of Manitoba? Who led the Red River Rebellion? What has David Lloyd Johnston been doing since leaving the presidency of a local university here in Waterloo? There are so many questions!
After the test, there will be a delay ("less than six months") until the oath-ceremony. And then (says the paperwork) I will have to wait TWO WHOLE DAYS before I can apply for a passport.
Oh, it's all so exciting! I guess I'd better get started on those 2012 income tax forms. I didn't file them last year because it was embarrassing to admit how little money I made (my tax rate was negative). And it's time too do the 2013 forms as well (negative yet again).
