Oath Ceremony for Kid under 14 years (

[pseetha]

Haven't reached this stage but it's better if you call and let them know about this since I read a case where the certificate of the child was delayed because they hadn't got the invite.

It can go either ways - the whole oath getting delayed or the clerk can add the kid then and there and complete their part.

Hey,

I've been in a somewhat similar situation. I'm currently in Canada, but my son, who's a minor at 4.5 years old, is overseas and will be there for a few months. He's the only one in my application. Since minors don't have to attend the ceremony, I'm thinking of representing both of us during the Oath. I was wondering if getting his PR card cut after the Oath would work. Since you've already been through the Oath ceremony, could you please share your experience and let me know if this would work? What kind of questions do the officers typically ask about the minor? Do they inquire about whether the minor is in Canada or not? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

i am in the same situation as you now. Can you share your experience please.
Were you able to attend the ceremony without your kid? How did you apply for passport?

thanks

I am in the same boat. My son received an oath invitation, does he need to attend it or can I attend on his behalf, or does niether of us need to attend it?

The kid's PR card needs to be cut...
You can do it for him in front of the IRCC officer and then leave, as there's no oath requirement for him.

Hi could you please share your experience? Could you get citizenship certificate without minor being in Canada?

Hi could you please share how it went for minor not being in Canada?

 

[smash1984]

yes, i believe it should be fine if minor is not in Canada because they are not required to be present in the ceremony. If they are not required to be present in the ceremony then they can be anywhere.

Just an update, I sent an email asking them about this situation, and just got a reply pretty quickly:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our office.



Your daughter does not need to attend her citizenship ceremony, as clients under the age of 14 do not need to be present for the oath taking. Please make sure to have your daughters IDs as well as your own (ie. PR card + health card/passport) as you will need to cut her PR card during the ceremony check in.



Warm Regards,

IRCC Official / Représentante d'IRCC – TP

so the answer is, no, kids are not mandatory to take the oath even if you mentioned in your app form under the question 10.
Excited to be Canadians soon!
Cheers!

Does the minor require to be inside Canada, I have scheduled oath on 28/02/2025 with my daughter(5 years old) but she is outside of Canada? Thank you guys !
