Remaining in Canada waiting for citizenship

[DreamMagii]

Hello, i have a recently renewed PR card, and have now applied for citizenship, which im guessing has two years processing time to gain citizenship. My question is this, do i need to remain in-country in Canada while waiting for citizenship application to be processed? Do i need to be in-country for citizenship examination, oath and citizenship ceremony? Thanks in advance.

Oath can only be taken in Canada.

No, you don’t have to remain in Canada after submitting your application as long as you are in good standing with your PR.

Yes, you must be in Canada for your test and oath.
