Travel after Oath ceremony

[anupamroy7]

Hi All,

I have got my citizenship test on June 13th. I have already made travel arrangements to India in month of September. My problem is with the timing of my test and oath ceremony (which usually takes max 3 months after the test), it looks like it is interfering with my travel plan. Now my question is, can I travel to India on Indian passport after my oath ceremony? I will wait to apply for Canadian passport once i come back to Canada.
I would appreciate if anyone can answer this.

You can travel on your Indian passport (I am assuming you have Schengen visa to visit Paris) but retuning will be a problem as you will be cutting/destroying your PR card during your oath ceremony. They do ask in ceremony whether you have any immediate travel plans but its almost impossible to get your Canadian passport within the duration which you are looking for. I suggest either you postpone your ceremony or travel plans.
