Muhammed Rahman and his family came to Canada from Bangladesh in 2018. During the last Canada Day celebration, he became a Canadian citizen with his wife and two sons.
Rahman said, “We are proud to become Canadian citizens today. The first time we applied to Canada was in 2014, but our application didn’t succeed until 2018.”
“When we got the email from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), we were surprised and excited. Becoming a Canadian citizen is a long process, and today, we are lucky and very happy for this special day,” he concluded.
