     REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

(Issued from the Bench on January 20, 1998,

in Toronto, Ontario, edited)

WETSTON J.

[1]      You appeared before Judge Alice Napier, who declined to make a recommendation that you be granted citizenship because you did not have adequate knowledge of Canada or your responsibilities and privileges if you were granted citizenship.

[2]      Now, Mrs. To, it is apparent to this Court, that since that hearing, you have obviously informed yourself of your responsibilities and obtained sufficient knowledge of Canada to meet the requirements of the Act; therefore, the appeal is allowed. Thank you very much.
