I'm dying to get through this and you are thinking of postponing it? Can we switch our timelines?

how does it matter? you are a PR card holder.. hardly makes any difference... you will get it one day or other... better things to focus in life...

I'm just kidding. I know I will be a citizen one day but actually my application is was stuck for a very long time that's the only reason I commented.
All the best..

I think that they will if you mention the approximate date of return to canada.

For some people, it makes a big difference.
People who want to work in US in TN visa.
People who want to travel to countries that is not possible with their prior passport (eg. Iraqis)
People who want to vote and run in elections

+ Above all, this is the top priority - "No more headache from CIC for life".
This is my number one reason for me not to postpone oath date(whenever it comes).

I will never delay my oath even if had to take a loan from bank at 50% interest.

On a serious note, I read here or on fb that one person requested to postpone his oath in September 2019 and he is still waiting. Reason his background checks went back to in process!!!

You can't assign any $ value to your mental health/peace!

Answered here.

Unless it is absolutely essential / you have extremely compelling reasons to travel, I wouldn't recommend postponing the oath ceremony. The reason being you do not know when you'll get another slot especially with the current backlog.

From other posts - sure you can postpone BUT whenever you are rescheduled is up to IRCC to decide . They could be nice and provide you a new date soon after you return OR throw you at the back of the line and you’re waiting for another year or more. Some folks postponed tests and have been waiting for a year or more for a new date .

Love this the ability to vote and no more nonsense forms to fill out and processes to go through( except passport renewal) are top 2 in my book.

Sorry to jump in with a question, it's somewhat related though - say you decided to postpone, how would you even go about contacting IRCC?
If I understand correctly, once you get the email instructions for your oath ceremony, you get an email you can respond to. What about before then?

Well, if you'd like to postpone before that, my best bet would be to request this via webform.
