I. AM. CANADIAN!

It was a big day! An important day, and one of the best days in my life!

I am not an Expat anymore. My Permanent Residency Card has been taken away, and replaced with something much better!

As of today I am a proud cititzen of one of the greatest and awesomest countries in the world. Thank you Canada!

Life is indeed good!

  8. Congratulations Sonja!

    Having spent 25 years in the 'Great White North' I understand the allure. I love Canada, heck I even married a Canadian. Best thing I ever did too.

    Way to go Sonja, we're happy for you. And now you can vote!

  9. Congratulations Sonja and I wish you all the best for the future.

    Does this mean that you will be trading down to a colonial British bike such as a Royal Enfield or a Triumph sometime soon?

  12. Congratulations - that's so cool! Know exactly how you feel, having gone through the same process a few years after arriving in NZ. That's so neat.

    Did you have to get a 100% pass on 1000 ice hockey questions as part of the citizenship requirement?

  13. Thanks, y'all! It is a huge privilege to belong to the people of the great white tundra. Also, I am proud to be able to keep my German Citizenship, so I am official a German-Canadian.
    This addition to my heritage requires now that I ride motorcycles of the British Commonwealth, but I am not sure how to break the news to my significant other...

  14. I'm tardy in my congratulations, but that does not make them less heart-felt.

    Well done, indeed!

  16. Many congratulations Sonja. We are almost related now! You know have a tough decision.... I suggest a Triumph, or a Norton, or a Royal Enfeild, how aboy a Triton, a Douglas, perhaps a BSA, or how about an AJS? The list goes on....
