Online Interview while out of Canada

[Coollime]

Hello everyone. I have received an invitation for an online citizenship interview, but I am out of Canada on vacation at the moment. The invitation does not mention that I have to be in Canada for the interview. I have read some posts where people said they were allowed to take the interview out of Canada and others said they were not allowed. I don’t understand how that is possible. Does it depend on the processing office? I have submitted my application from Mississauga, ON, and i have been waiting for 2.5 years, I really don’t want my interview to be postponed. Please share your experiences/opinions, do I email them and ask or do I just show up to the interview? Would they turn me down when they realize I am not in Canada?
TIA

You can attend interview outside Canada. Just email them telling them you wanna take it outside.

I believe you did so yourself right? Did your invitation mention that you need to inform them if you are not in Canada? Did you get DM soon afterwards?

]Hi, did you manage to arrange your interview online? Does everyone get asked to go for an interview before decision made I wonder? How much notice did they give for your interview date? Be good to know these things as plan to visit my son abroad next month.
