Moving abroad after applying - where do you take the test?

[miglop2014]

Hello, did you travel twice to Canada? one for the test and one for the ceremony? Or did you take the test before leaving? Thanks, greetings.

Hey. I went twice. First for the test and second for the ceremony and passport.

ok, thanks for your answer, I am planning to do the same, I have seen that you can apply for a passport at the Canadian embassy in Spain? Did you request it in Canada or abroad?

In Canada, it was faster and less paperwork. I planned my last trip giving me just enough time to take the oath, wait 2-3 days (time it takes for CIC to send your information to Passports Canada) and then request express pickup. Took my test on a Wednesday and had my passport next Tuesday. I had to pay the express pickup fee, but I came back with my Canadian passport.

Hi everybody,

Just a quick update to let you know that I sent the address request change on October 2018, on March 2019 I took the test and told the officer that I requested the change of the address to Spain but that it wasn't changed on ECAS. She wasn't very surprised. Well, I received an email yesterday about my application and I have my oath ceremony in 1 month. So there hasn't been any issue with moving abroad. I still got my citizenship and didn't have to fill the RQ.

So, as long as you do everything right and don't lie, there shouldn't be any issues.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
Did you update your address as an outside Canada address ?
Thank you

I personally know 2 people from work who applied around the end of 2017 (after C-6) and moved out of Canada, one moved just a couple of months after submission, the other one moved after over a year. Both got their test and oath invite while living outside of Canada, and both have become citizens without any RQ

Hi,

did they update their address as an outside Canada address ?
thanks

Hi,

The poster has not update his status since December. If you look at miglop2014's response in July 2020, it appeared that not changing the address did not matter.
