That's crazy.

You won't have any problems exiting the country. The only issue you will face is when entering back into Canada once you leave after your ceremony since you won't have neither Canadian PR card nor passport. There are workarounds to that as well once you get your citizenship certificate.

Hi all, I am probably jumping ahead of myself (ceremony is in 2 weeks time), but is there any other way to apply other than through mail? I notice that I can't seem to find any slot to book for passport application in person at any of the passport offices in Ontario. I randomly checked...

No, it won't affect your application at all. People are out of work for a whole variety of reasons. That has nothing to do with your passport eligibility.

Well, its funny that they take 15 friggin months to schedule an oath and then schedule it at almost the worst possible time for me. You should hopefully hear soon enough. my oath is 2 weeks after @Gaylewanderer even though I was always 1 day behind her during the whole application process...

Alright, so the email came from Niagara Falls office. The ceremony is on zoom, on June 7th, 1 15 PM. They couldn't have chosen a worse time as far as my work is concerned, but I guess I will let the supervisor know that this has to be done, and that work for that day will have to wait. There is...

Thanks this is helpful

after hearing this news you might be forever grateful :p

Lol, I think the trend was in favour of paper until a couple of months when you applied.

Thank you, yes all of you get your oath quickly too. The citizenship process sucks. It's way too long post covid (for most people) and seems very disorganized. They're using LIFO instead of FIFO.

Anywhere from a week to 4 months among the cases I have read. It took me 2.5 months to get it. Most people get it 4 to 6 weeks after LPP from what I read here.

seriously, it sucks the earlier you had applied. I am from March 2022 and our applications are moving even though slowly, but still much quicker than January. In the meanwhile Jan 2023 applicants are getting oath invites.

Thank you. In the end, I suppose no news wasn't good news, but some news was good news :p Good luck to you as well :)

Funny enough, I have kids under 14 for whom I had selected "No" regarding oath of citiezenship. They still seem to have gotten oath invitation. If you entered "yes" at the time of filing then the child should attend. However, if the child cannot attend, then just email the oath office and ask...

I stand corrected. Thank you for pointing it out.

FINALLY, I get an oath in progress.

What?

Yes, paper > online trend still holds. With paper, your AOR might come slightly later, but your application will be processed much faster.

This COULD work if IRCC assumes that your month is starting on 1st and ending on the last day of the month. But that is a strong assumption. IRCC is known to have rejected many PCCs with even 1 day being missing from the required period. So it's hard to say if they will accept this. There is...
