A little weird question but super confused so if anyone can please help.
Can I use the photograph I got clicked for Citizenship Application, for new passport application? And can we have 1 guarantor sign that photograph or need to get another set of photos clicked?

We did not use the picture we had because a lot happened( we lose weight) and decided to
get a new passport picture and it needs to be signed by your guarantor.

Yes you have to send it with naming convention on the file + name of the email header in the oath email documents sent to you.
Just reply to the email that sent you the oath email instructions.
Also congrats!

Just downloaded the certificate. Time for passport.

Had my appointment today. Super quick. I did regular service. Was told to come pick it up December 14 (i.e. 10 business days). I travel on December 30, so, hopefully nothing goes wrong.

For vancouver folks which passport centre is quick for passport application? walk in is better or appointment is better?

Yes, just the Oath Form, which is the last page. Make sure you sign both the fields with black ink. Send it back to the same email address that you received the Oath Ceremony invite from. Make sure you follow the instructions given by the clerk after the ceremony about what to write in the subject line of the email along with the clerk's initials.

The instructions don't mention anything about the clerk's initials...
Do we have to write that on the email?

good question

 

[Frisk]

Question, when you get tracker updates is it always at 5am? Or has any of you gotten updates during the day?

 

[CarolinCanada]

good question

If it helps, I didn't write the initials (I don't even remember), and I was able to download my certificate a few minutes ago.

 

[gargeedesai]

How long is the virtual ceremony time wise?

 

[AUG2023]

can you please write the exact subject line for the email you send after the ceremony? So I can send accordingly @CarolinCanada and @saad_im
