What time in the day do citizenship ceremonies usually take place? What is the possible time range? Is it like morning till afternoon window?
Mine is scheduled to start at 830am and last for 3hrs. Scarborough office. But I read somewhere it can last for like 1hr although I do not know which location that is

For people who will be taking their oath soon, For Affirmation of Citizenship form, what is the best way of signing it? We are given two options:
  • Printing the form in advance and then sign it on paper infront of the IRCC official during the Zoom session after the Closing remarks
  • Signing the form electronically after the Ceremony on our own
Which one is more efficient and faster?

Better to physically sign, and then scan and email form to the officer a minute after the oath exercise.

@Mystico_90 do you think we will get an invite around october 10? It is going to be 2 months after the decision made update. None of us from Halifax had any updates after that I believe
I hope so, I will finish 2 months on Oct 11. It's very frustrating :(
I supposed to get my GCMS by Oct 15 (if we don't get any oath email by Oct 10 or 11).
I think it's only 2 of us from Hfx from March 2020.

Hi guys, I got my oath letter but no seat number. Is the seat number important? Do I need to reach out to them. I felt that since its virtual the seat number may not be quite important. But the oath letter seems to repeatedly emphasise seat number.

Scarborough 11am to noon. Just 1 hour.
Hi, I am also Scarborough. Pls was it just stated in your oath letter that the ceremony will last 1hr or it was to last 3hrs but eventually was only 1hr. I am also in scarborough mine is for 3hrs from 830am. So I am not too sure. I would not want it to last beyond 11:30am as stated in the letter as I have to return to work at 11:31am :)
