You'll see a list of documents when you receive the oath invitation via email but here is (probably) a part of the email that someone posted.
Timing of Online Oath Ceremony
- Thread starter ugterrier
- Start date
this is SuperFAst!!! wow!!! So I have a query. My Indian Passport is expiring in April 2022. I just completed my online citizenship test yesterday (20/20). Is everyone is getting it processed so fast? should I wait for the oath ceremony, and then give my Indian passport back/or for renewal?
You're replying to a post that is 7 months old. The processing isn't as fast at this time. Currently, for 2020 applicants, oath is being scheduled anywhere between September 2021 to Feb 2022 (depends on your office). If you live in the GTA and belong to Scarborough and/or Mississauga office, your oath will likely be scheduled in early 2022 (depending on what stage you are in the process). So, go ahead and renew your passport to be on the safer side. Wish you the best!
You might want to check the spreadsheet for processing timelines :

I applied in March 2021, received AOR in June 2021, wrote citizenship test 05 Sep. When do you think (approx) my oath ceremony would be? In the meantime, SHould I renew my Indian passport since its expiring in April 2022? Would you happen to know the timeline for renewal of Indian passport currently? I live in London, Ontario. Thanks again for your very informative posts.
Holy crap! Your application is moving pretty quick! That's nice!
Like I said, 2020 applicants are being scheduled for oath in early 2022. So, depending on your office, you'll get your oath date around that time or sometime in mid-2022.
I would strongly suggest you to renew your passport about 3 - 4 months before it expires. So that would be sometime late December or in January 2022 if you still don't have an oath date. I have no idea about the processing times for Indian passport renewal as I never had to renew my passport.
Good luck!

Don't worry, people applied before you are still waiting for Oath. Some people had last update in Jun or Jul 2021 with Decision Made but no oath ceremony.
since I got a question about oath timing, thought to post it here.
My oath is scheduled on this Friday at 11:00 AM (PST)
I'm confused because apparently we are not observing PST right now, we are in daylight saving time PDT, anyone can comment on that? Don't want to be late into my Oath by an hour.

@rajkamalmohanram
ask them to confirm or log in early. They got the time wrong on mine I sat for an hour
Just to be 100% safe, login at 11:00 AM PST and see if there is someone in the meeting. Wait for about 15 minutes and see if they start the process. If not, logout and come back at 11:00 AM PDT.
Hello, can you please confirm what time did it end up being? I have the same question now.
Thanks!
It ended up being 11 AM PT, or PDT what we observing now.
I did this trick to know the exam time, I logged in to the zoom meeting the night before and the pop zoom window said this meeting will start at 11 AM.
So yea in my case the meeting started at the 11 AM local pacific time. PST was properly a typo.
Best of luck with your oath.
Hello everyone,
I wrote my citizenship test on August 7, 2021. I immediately got the results via e-mail - PASS. On August 12 I received an email from IRCC requesting all pages of my passport (old and new passport). On the same day itself I sent them the scanned copies.
Today it is September 15, 2021 (over a month) and I have not heard anything from them at all. Is this normal waiting time? I was under the impression that within couple of weeks I would either get a request for an interview or some alternatively some information for the Oath Ceremony.
