August 2022 Citizenship Applications

[RefugeeHelp1]

Love this so much! we will soon be able to do our own citizenship ceremony without a judge

Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 157, Number 8: Regulations Amending the Citizenship Regulations (Oath of Citizenship)

Objective
The purpose of the amendments to the Regulations is to add flexibility in how the Oath of Citizenship can be taken, including in the presence or not of an authorized person. The flexibility would allow the Department to implement options aimed at improving client service and reducing processing times of citizenship applications while continuing to allow citizenship applicants to meet the legal requirement of swearing or affirming to the Oath of Citizenship.

Hi, can anyone please help me with these questions regarding oath ceremony? Thanks in advance.

1. I got the oath invite email(scheduled for this Friday, March 3rd via zoom) for my minor child(below 14yrs) as well, with zoom link and seat number. Does the child need to be present during the ceremony? The ceremony is at the same time as mine and my spouse.

2. Does my spouse and I need to be logged into zoom separately or can we do it together as the time slot is same?

Based on https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-ceremony.html

"
Adults and children aged 14 or over must go to the citizenship ceremony and take the oath.


Parents will get certificates of citizenship for their children under age 14. Children under age 14 don’t have to go, but are welcome to."



2. Does my spouse and I need to be logged into zoom separately or can we do it together as the time slot is same?
