Hi Darwaish,
My wife has to hand over her PR card on the oath taking day and then apply for the Canadian passport. Realizing the time period to be too tight , we decided not to take any risk and jeopardize our trip. So she emailed CIC and informed them about her travel plans along with the copy of the ticket. And requested for rescheduling the oath date.
Below is the content she received along with the invitation letter :
Sir/Madam,
The purpose of this notice is to invite you to a Canadian Citizenship Ceremony.
The date, time and details of your appointment are attached to this email.
· Please read the attached notice carefully to verify the date/time of your appointment and to ensure you bring all required items listed on the notice in order to be eligible to participate in your Citizenship Ceremony.
Please print, fill out and bring the following:
1. Notice to Appear
2. Media Release Form
3. Prohibitions Form
· Please do not arrive more than 1 hour prior to your scheduled Citizenship Ceremony due to the high amount of client volume in the check-in/waiting area.
· If you are travelling outside of Canada within 1 week or less after your scheduled Citizenship Ceremony, please be aware that this may not allow you enough time to apply for and receive a Canadian Passport. For further information on Passport Canada�s locations, timelines, fees, policies and procedures, please consult their website at www.passport.gc.ca
· Please keep in mind that you must wait a minimum of 3 business days after your Citizenship Ceremony to apply for a Canadian Passport.
