For the passport application. Someone please answer my query.
My oath ceremony is July 17
I’ve booked days off from work July 21-31 and yet didn’t book a vacation in anticipation of oath ceremony
Now that I know the date, if I apply for the passport how will I get my passport in time for July 21 ? Can I apply for urgent processing? If I book my vacation and show them as proof can they process it in time ? If not my money will be wasted
Thanks in advance for answering my query

I received the oath invite by regular mail and the ceremony is at Mississauga and I did my test in Scarborough. So my application got transferred to Mississauga

Me too, my test was in Scarborough and I live in scarborough but got oath is in mississauga. I don't think our files were transferred I just think we were in queue and mississauga had availability. I called IRCC a couple of times before and they told me my file was not transferred.

Congrats!

Hi,
At CIC center they will tell everyone to wait for at least 2 business days before apply for the passport. My experience was similar... keep checking your ecas on 18th if it is in Completed state. If not, then do check on 19th... thats your last call go to passport office at Scarborough (floor lower to the CIC office) give a try... if there systems can read your status apply for the urgent processing, which you can collect it on EOB 20th....

Good luck!!

I will also be there on 17th for my wife’s Oath...

Hey all,

I got my oath invitation on Friday for July 31st. Im hoping to connect with some of you at scarborough center that day, it will be fun.

best of luck to all waiting for oath invite, men what pain in the rear, to me it was a 4 month wait which it wasnt bad comparing to others still waiting.

Cheers

Hello All,

Can my child who is 3.5 years old (who is already Canadian) sit with me and my family during the ceremony ? or do I have to make separate arrangements for her to be in reserved area with a family or guest ?

appreciate feedback from anyone who has had or know of this scenario and how to manage

** wishing all waiting members to get oaths soon!

Regards

Your child cannot sit with you as the seats are numbered and are only for the oath recipients of that ceremony.
If your child is willing to sit alone, I’m sure that shouldn’t be an issue.
However, I’d say, knowing children that young, you’re best off arranging that she sit with someone

Thank you - not even on your lap ?

Quite honestly, I wouldn’t risk it

So it appears we've been invited to some kind of special ceremony being run in partnership with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship and it is being held at Pearson airport. There are roundtable discussions, the ceremony itself and then a reception afterwards with refreshments, cake and photographs (so it says!).

It seems to take a few hours, but it's kind of nice having something a bit more special, particularly after the hassle involved with the PPQ-QA exercise!

Congrats, sounds like it would be a festive event!

I'm in the same situation, i have a 2.5 year old Canadian child, during my interview the officer suggested we bring her to the ceremony and have her sit on my/or my wife's lap.

I do remember when i came for the test, there was someone who came for his Oath ceremony and had 2 kids - he was allowed only to take one in.

I would recommend you plan for both scenarios just in case, i.e. arrange an adult to sit with the child in case the child wasn't allowed - but at the same time try to take your child with you by saying he will sit on your lap..

hope this helps,
