OTTAWA - A young Pakistani education activist who shared this year's Nobel Peace prize still awaits the honorary Canadian citizenship promised to her last year.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper pledged to make Malala Yousafzai an honorary citizen during last year's speech from the throne.
Why the pledge has yet to be fulfilled is unclear and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander will only say that the commitment remains in force.
He says Canada is proud to see the Nobel honour bestowed on a young woman who literally faced up to terrorism.
Yousafzai, an outspoken advocate for girls education, was shot in the head by Taliban gunman two years ago as she was on her way home from school.
She survived to become an international spokesperson for the right of girls to go to school.
