Yet in the foreseeable future I doubt I will sign the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_citizenship_%28Canada%29 Canadian Oath of Citizenship], and hence I doubt I will become a Canadian citizen any time soon.

	I finalized my "{{pensieve link\|Projects/Citizenship/PreOath.pdf\|pre-oath letter}}" to the presiding citizenship judge and went to Citizenship and Immigration Canada Scarborough Office to find the name of said judge her/his mailing address. To my surprise and delight, they were nice and accommodating; I ended up talking to John Lu, the manager of said office, who gave me the information I was seeking. He also requested that I agree to take the oath a few days later, so that the venue would be their office rather than the original venue which was off-site. I agreed and so my new oath date and time is Monday November 30 at 10:30AM, and the Scarborough CIC at 200 Town Centre Court, Suite 370, Scarborough. We agreed that at the "taking pictures with the judge" phase of the ceremony, which is after the oath itself, I will be able to present a "disavowal letter" to the judge. I hope to post pictures here on or soon after November 30!
