Congratulations Onur Eksi!!! Onur has recently become a Canadian Citizen. He has been a permanent resident here in Nova Scotia for the last 13 years. He was ready for this next step to become a Canadian citizen! During the ceremony, the judge announces the exciting steps, Onur then said the oath in both English and French. He has been one of our favourite clients working on his job search (finding employment as well!) and we were so honoured to have him have his ceremony virtually here in our office. Congratulations again Onur! Government of Canada Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada / Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada
