Today, I took the Oath of Citizenship and officially became a CANADIAN CITIZEN.

I landed in Canada for the first time in 2018 (for my MSc) with a Full-ride Scholarship from the Mastercard Foundation at @mcgillu. Canada and Montreal, in particular, welcomed me with joy, and it has been an amazing journey since then.

It's an Honor of a lifetime to say that I'm now a Canadian and am so glad to be part of this beautiful country.

Looking back at my journey, I have received help from many people and am passionate about paying it forward.

A massive thank you to the @MastercardFdn Scholarship, which sponsored my MSc and provided professional development support.

I'm so grateful for the fantastic support of friends and family. A massive thank you to my parents and siblings for all their support over the years—I probably wouldn't be here without them. To my beautiful wife, THANK YOU so much for all your support. We've been through a lot together, and it can only get better from here.

The highlight of my ceremony today was having both my mum and wife present at the event. I couldn't have imagined a better way to celebrate❤️🥰

Many thanks to my PhD supervisor, @com_ecology— I appreciate all your help and support. I'm proud to say I became both a Permanent Resident and a Canadian Citizen in Pedro's lab (2 years & few months apart).

If you're from a humble background (like myself), I hope this encourages and motivates you not to give up; keep pushing, and you'll win. I'm so rooting for you all🙌.

Alhamdulilah🙏
