March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[kimodz]

You'd probably be better off waiting til you get back - they make you cut up your PR card when you do the oath, and then you need your Canadian passport in order to travel to Canada, so you'd need to get your passport before you leave as well.

Thanks Kamillie. I totally forgot about that!!!
I'll just postpone my oath in this case.

Anyone here from Vancouver who have received their Citizenship Certificate? How long did it take to receive it after your ceremony & oath affirmation submission on an average?

Hi folks,
How many days you should expect an official invitation oath from the oath update date in tracker?

If your oath is in progress you should get your oath invite within a couple of days!

It depends on the ceremony office. I got the email 11 days after tracker update (Scarborough office).

You should expect to get it by the 18th (6 days before your scheduled oath date).

You should reply to the same oath email and ask for an update. Ottawa is the slowest office, so have a lot of patience.

You could just apply for a Canadian passport while overseas and return with that passport no?

I believe first Canadian passport has to be issued in Canada. Cannot be issued overseas.

Try telling that to all Canadian citizens born abroad.
