take the oath of citizenship? Applicants who are 14 and older must attend the citizenship ceremony to take the oath of citizenship, including applicants 55 or older. Children under the age of 14 are not required to take the oath of citizenship, although they are welcome to attend the ceremony. 7. I am still a citizen of another country. Will I lose that citizenship if I become a Canadian? Under Canadian law, a Canadian is allowed to be a citizen of another country as well. Some countries, however, will not let you keep their citizenship if you become a Canadian citizen. The consulate or embassy of your other country of citizenship can let you know if this applies to you. 8. What happens if I miss the citizenship test, my interview or the ceremony? During the processing of your application, you must attend a series of events in order to meet all of the requirements to become a citizen. We will mail you notices telling you when and where to go for the citizenship test, interview (if applicable) and citizenship ceremony. All events take place in Canada. If you do not appear for any of these events, your file may be closed. You will then have to re-apply, pay the fees and go through the entire process again. As a reminder, if you know in advance that you will be absent, please contact the CIC Call Centre (see " Contact Information " at the end of this publication). 9. Could
