I wouldn't swear to the queen if you paid me!
I don't think any 'normal' irish people would tbh!

Renesmee .Ox

No.. I'd stay without becoming a citizen.
I'd feel like I was cheating on Ireland lol.

agooddub

No never
The Canadians are backward in that respect. The Australians dropped that silly reference in their swearing in ceremony for new citizens.

Chloe

Hell no!

Ello Guv

Yeah because I mean fitting in with the culture and heritage of a country your moving to is a disgusting habit. .

If I had a decision to move to one of the Commonwealth countries, even if it was a great move for me or whatever, If it came to it that I would HAVE to swear an oath to the Queen I wouldn't and I would cancel my plans to move.

I'm stubborn about those kind of things, for example I wouldn't look for American Citizenship in the future as they would make me say the Pledge of Allegiance and Its so cheesy, no thanks.

No Way

My uncle moved to Canada in the early 60's, and he still refuses to take the oath, even though he has been living there, nearly 50 years.

It obviously doesn't seem to affect him too much.

your friend must understand that the oath is just one aspect of canadian citizenship. such oaths are common. just trad bull.
I would swear (but it wouldnt be an oath)

and anyone who thinks she not at all responsible or hasnt done them wrong might remember her in full military uniform taking a salute from troops home from Overseas Ops in Ireland, as their Commander in Chief

Meathgirl!

No I wouldn't.

cardimom

I'm American(of Irish descent) I wouldn't , couldn't even curtsy to her.

magidge

Well Canada is still part of the Commonwealth and the Queen is head of the Commonwealth.

But I do have my limits, and well not for all the tea in China would I!

scarbouro

PÃ“G mo THÃ“IN

Never

Jay

hahahahahahahaha NO! not because i feel hard done by by her, but its just that i think any irish person should only swear allegiance to ireland. in respect to our ancesters at the very least!

Orla C

Well, if your friend wants to become a Canadian citizen, she might have to. However, I wasn't aware that this was part of becoming a Canadian citizen.

bluebell

I'd be uncomfortable swearing an oath to anyone - even Her Majesty.

Steven J

wyh would they lets be honest its just like asking another country to do so.

Elfin

i a word, NO.

32=1

im from the north of ireland, i would rather castrate myself than swear an oath of allegiance to the british crown

If she was the head of state for a country that I wanted to become a citizen of then why not. The current Queen has done nothing against me and the oath sworn is merely a historic tradition which no longer holds the same meaning. It is a symbol and a symbol is only as powerful as the significance you give it.

ayhartlasketchup

To be honest if I really wanted to become a citizen of the country eg. Canada, I'd swear the oath but I wouldn't really mean it. It really makes no difference.

dollymix (now geeky for a month)

Nah.

janus

No I would have Great Problems Doing That. I would find it hard Swearing an Oath to any Person. They are all Self Servers looking after themselves NO1.
