Big day today! I am now officially a Canadian citizen!

It's hard to express how great a feeling this is for me. I have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for many years, and somehow I still felt like an outsider. Today I started really feeling more at home. Like this is it--this really is my home now. And I am so, so happy about that.

Pic of me and partner after citizenship ceremony (we both became Canadian citizens today). Eye contact. https://mastodon.social/media/80o98WFabv--c_k0E8Q

@clhendricksbc Congratulations! It's like the start of the next chapter of your life...

Another great new Canadian another win for Canada 👍😊

Have you been inundated with congratulatory gifts of Canadian kitsch yet? If not where can we send the maple syrup, toques and red plaid onsies? 😄

@clhendricksbc Congrats :)

Now you can travel the world without the stigma of a U.S passport ;-)

**Christina Hendricks 🐱🇨🇦🐱** @clhendricksbc · Jan 11, 2018, 06:30

**Christina Hendricks 🐱🇨🇦🐱** @clhendricksbc · Jan 11, 2018, 06:30

@dadegroot Yes, exactly! Though you have to wait three business days before you can apply for a passport (that'd be Monday I think). The reason, so far as I know, is to ensure that the computer systems have updated your status.

And I can really indeed say when traveling, and mean it, that I'm Canadian!

@econproph Thank you! Super happy about this. Feel more at home here now, even though ultimately little has changed. Except I’ll have to carry two passports when traveling to US I just learned. US requires US one to enter if citizen, and same for Canada.
