Toronto, Jan 29 (IBNS): Ruby Sahota, Member of Parliament for Brampton Northrecently 100 new Canadian citizens at a special citizenship ceremony on behalf of  Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), at IRCC Mississauga, media reports said.

After reaffirming her oath for citizenship with these 100 new citizens, Sahota also exchanged views with these new Canadians who were from 29 countries and from different backgrounds.


“This past year - 2017 - we marked the 150th anniversary of Canadian Confederation and we celebrated a nation that embraces equality and respect for all, because this is where diversity is regarded as a strength. As you take the oath and become Canadian citizens today, I have no doubt that you will contribute to Canada in your own way, continuing the great legacy of those who came before you,”  Sahota was reported to state while addressing the newly inducted citizens.
