Last week, I took the Canadian citizenship oath. Yay! So now I'm Filipino and Canadian, and will probably not have to be so anxious about travel. (Or I'll end up find new and different excuses why I'd rather stay home, now that I can worry less about being stuck on the wrong side of an immigration counter.)

2014-09-05 Becoming Filipino-Canadian

Excellent timing, since we have elections coming up.

The process was faster than I expected. I lost my passport (well, technically, Canada Post lost it, harrumph) and had resigned myself to the prospect of a delay of year or two. Happy to get this all sorted out earlier!
