Hi everyone. I wanted to share how my oath ceremony went yesterday. I logged in 5 min before the ceremony started. 3 minutes after 1 the officer let us in. They asked us to change our name to seat number and last name. The officer changed it for all of us. That took 10-15 minutes or so. After that we went to each officer stand alone where the officer asked for two pieces of ID other than PR. I presented my health card and driver license. Officer asked to present my PR, so I presented my PR. There is a paper we have to sign that signifies you don't have any crimes or any issues with immigration as first signature. The second signature indicates that you swear an oath in front of a judge. The officer asked me to sign the first signature. After that the judge introduced herself and talked a little bit about Canada and her ancestral background as well as first nations history and how Canada added about first nations rights in oath recently. After that we repeated the oath after the judge all at the same time. Finally we went to the office where the officer asked if we will travel in the next 2 month in order to speed up your citizenship certificate. I was also asked to cut the PR into 4 parts and sign the last signature. I signed the last part of the paper. Officer signed off and I scanned it and emailed it to the designated email. The subject of the signed oath form is given during the ceremony.

So you printed the form before the ceremony and signed it twice on paper, and you didn't sign it on the computer?

I would say sign it on paper is much easier if you don't know how to upload your signature.

I think you are right. I will do that when the time comes. It's just I don't have a printer, and I have to go to a public printing service to print it.
