You will be expected to recite the Canadian Oath of Citizenship in BOTH English and French on the day of the citizenship ceremony. You will be given a printed card with both the English and French versions of the oath on it. The presiding Judge will lead the taking of the oath and you will follow by repeating each sentence after the Judge says it. There will be Government employees monitoring that you are actually saying both versions of the Citizenship Oath for Canada.
