September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[ROCK ON]

Hello forum members

I gave test on June 10, 2022. Tracker updated as Test has changed from “In Progress” to “Completed”. Does it mean that the officer has validated the test and declared it official ?

Forum members please share your views.

Hi Everyone,

Today, my language, physical presence and prohibitions were marked as completed. Oath Ceremony is still not started.

Also, in ECAS it is now decision made.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes until to get the oath invite?

Thanks.

You can travel with Indian passport until you get the Canadian one. citizenship certificate is listed as accepted document to enter into Canada as per CIC however the problem is with Health Services and ArriveCan. There is no option to select Certificate. You should probable check with them if they accept that document.

Not sure where your info is coming from.

• You must wait to get your citizenship certificate after the ceremony before you can apply for a passport.
• A valid Canadian passport proves you have the right to enter Canada.
• Your citizenship certificate is not a travel document.

For more information here is the link: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/after-citizenship-ceremony.html

This is why people apply for urgent passport processing otherwise, there would be no point in doing so.

Out of interest, how long does it take to go from oath to Canadian passport? What are the steps involved?

Here is your information:

I would strictly suggest you to use Canada.ca website for all your queries rather than asking around here. Its safe and keeps you from misinformation.

There is no fixed timeline to this. It mostly depends on your processing office.
Better to let people know your processing office. Someone processing through the same office can provide you with the best guesstimate.

I read it somewhere too hence the reason I mentioned to check with them before doing anything.

Travel and identification documents for entering Canada (cbsa-asfc.gc.ca) you can find on this page and again I am not sure if its for people that have Canadian passport already but couldn't present at that time?

Try another option. If you tried UCI and it didn't work, try application number. This happens to me too. The application number starts with a "C".

I have tried before as well but couldn’t. My guess is only paper applicants can use ECAS?

Did you get the oath schedule by email or you received something in mail? How were you informed about the oath schedule ??

from the information on the tracker and from the email too
