NZ Citizenship Ceremony

The citizenship ceremony is part of the process of becoming a New Zealand citizen.  One is required to attend a public citizenship ceremony.  Today, I personally know of several families who've gained their NZ citizenship, in other words they're now Kiwis.  Some of them will opt for a dual citizenship, while others will now owe their allegiance to New Zealand.  For some it is an emotional experience, most specially for those who've been uprooted from their lives in the home country.  Others will embrace this new beginning with hope and confidence for a better life and future.  Becoming a citizen is the final step of a migrant's journey.  After that, work honestly and the real dream begins.  Congratulations everyone!
