What was done to the Oath of Allegiance for Purposes of Citizenship in 1976?
Some people thought that because we have a shared monarchy it should be made clear to new citizens that the loyalty they were promising was to the Queen of Canada not to the Queen of Jamaica, the Queen of New Zealand or the Queen of the United Kingdom, and therefore the words “Queen of Canada” were inserted after the Queen’s name. The oath was also officially named the Canadian Citizenship Oath at that time
