Oath Ceremony at Midnight?

Hi, I received my invitation for virtual citizenship oath ceremony- scheduled in two weeks.

However, the inivitation letter says that the the ceremony will be at 12:00 AM EDT on zoom. Which is midnight if I understand correctly. Is that possible/ normal?
As far as I thought- citizenship ceremonies take place only during working hours.

Can any expert weigh in on this. Is it possible, or is it a typo from CIC.

And if it is typo, what should I do?

Thanks in advance.

It must be a mistake. Confirm this by sending and inquiry to the email from which you received the invitation.

Sounds similar to a post (sometime in Feb) where someone claimed to have got the oath date for August. I wouldn't be surprised if the processing agent confused between 02/08 & 08/02.

So I received another invitation from CIC with a new timing - 8.15 AM on the same date- even before I could respond to them to verify what they had sent earlier in terms of timing of the Oath ceremony.

So it was actually an error by CIC which, it seems, they realised (or someone pointed it out to them), and thus corrected it on their own accord.


Thanks a lot! And good luck with to you in whatever stage of immigration/ application you are in.

Cheers!


I'll keep this thread open for a bit in case anyone has any questions about my timeline or other details related to the process.
