Alcobaca, Portugal, August 2021

After a long wait, I finally received a preliminary result for my Portuguese language test that I took last November at the Consulate of Portugal in Toronto. The outcome, if confirmed officially, is extremely encouraging as I scored 87,5% (55% necessary to pass) on test.

Needless to say that I am extremely happy and now anxiously waiting for the confirmation and the official certificate from the language centre. Once with me, I will be able to proceed with an application to become a naturalised citizen of Portugal. It is still quite a lot of waiting, and substantial amount of paper work to be done, but the language test was the last major (at least, as I understand it) obstacle to fulfil all the conditions to get naturalised as Portuguese.

If all goes according to plan, I am aiming at submitting my application around March/April 2022, and then few months later, I should hear the answer to my petition.

Keep your fingers crossed, so all goes well, and I shall definitely update you with the progress!
