Nobel Peace prize laureate Malala Yousafzai says she is "humbled" to become the sixth person to receive an honorary Canadian citizenship.
At 19, she is also the youngest ever person to receive the honour.
During the official ceremonies in Ottawa, she called on Canadian politicians to use their influence to help fund education for girls worldwide, including refugees.
Ms Yousafzai is a global advocate for women's rights and education.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau praised Ms Yousafzai for her advocacy, calling her "the newest and possibly bravest citizen of Canada".
The Pakistani schoolgirl activist was originally meant to receive her citizenship in October 2014, an honour bestowed on her under former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper's government.
That event was cancelled when it coincided with the shooting death of a ceremonial guard Nathan Cirillo and an attack on Parliament by gunman Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

Neat. Maybe she can take Wonder Woman's position as a global women's ambassador in the United Nations.

Ugly, unintelligent, backwards little girl who claims to want freedom for women but goes against that.

Just because she got shot doesn't mean she deserves an award.
