Thanks again.No problem. Happy to help. It’s all online just type in how to apply for Canadian Passport in google & you will have all the details. You apply for your Passport once you have got your Citizenship Certificate which will take another 8 to 10 days after your Citizenship Ceremony is done. You can do that but it’s very complicated. I wouldn’t recommend that at all. Remember your Tourist Visa Application can be rejected as well then you will be stuck in states. I know it’s frustrating believe me I have been there but get your Passport & then travel. It’s lot more fun,relaxed & no tension at all. You have waited for so long patiently just hang in there for a few more weeks rest is up to you.
Yeah I found the page to apply for the passport. They have an express option of 2 days plus next day pickup for extra fees. Glad that options exists.
I wasn't aware I had to wait 8-10 days after the Oath Ceremony to receive the citizenship certification. That does complicate things. I am guessing there is no way to expediate this certification? I did read that you could request the certification sooner if you show proof if itinerary, that was one example written on their website, but they do not guaranteed that you will receive it on time even if you qualify. Do you think it would be worth it to request that?
I would complete the form from now, and be ready to all the documents to submit, once the certificate is received. My other question here, can i apply for the certification as soon as I get the oath ceremony letter? or do I have to wait for the actual oath to take place first?
I will avoid the tourist visa as very complicated, no point getting that in the mix when the finish line is so close.
