That's a bit of a hike, isn't it? I thought when people had a long journey to the processing office, they did the test and oath on the same day, in some cases.
it is. door to door 2.5 hrs drive. i wished the same but i guess i am not the lucky one.

I don't understand people that delay the ceremony... It's simply the most important date in our lives (after our kids' birthdays etc.), and I just don't get what might be more important than that... IT'S THE DAY YOU BECOME THE CITIZEN OF THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. :) Why would you want to postpone it? :)

I will put it this way... I took a huge risk by booking my trip not knowing when my ceremony would be... My risk paid off because it is 2 weeks after the ceremony and I have enough time to do the urgent Passport Application BUT I was mentally prepared to lose over $1000.00 just to become a Canadian Citizen... I even told my spouse that if they schedule it for the same date, I will be happy to lose $1000.00 as long as I become Canadian which has been my dream for well over 8 years now... I would have a whole life ahead of me to earn $1000.00 again... Money is nothing in comparison to the status of the Canadian Citizen... It is such a great honour to be one...

Anyways, I guess you guys got my drift... I do not get WHY people would try to postpone their oaths...

This is just my opinion obviously so I hope I did not offend those who are trying to postpone it... I do realize that sometimes emergencies are emergencies... I meant people that delay it because of their vacations etc...
I hear you, but the loss in my case would be more than 4,000$, as I had a non refundable booking since last year on March. I decided to postpone my oath for two months and not loosing my booking. I’m living permanently in Canada and I have no plans to leave, so two more months as PR is not a big deal

Good morning
this fourm is very helpful .
I need an advice please
can someone ask for urgent citizenship processing for medical reasons?
I know a person who's she suffering a health issues and non of the hospitals/doctors are able to figure out her problems, they kept giving her advils and tylenol!, her health became worse since doctors are unable to ideantify her sicknesses! , now she's all swelling and it sounds serious and she had to quit her job,, her temperature reached 43 !
can she asks for urgent processing so she could apply for a passport and travel somewhere else for hospitalization ?
she's been In Canada for 10 years and never traveled before, her application received Nov 8th 2017 , not even in
process yet
Montreal office !!
thanks

My situation is kind of similar to you. What did the IRCC say to your request? Was it a hassle postponing your oath ceremony? Appreciate your response.
