    Shouldn’t matter, They don’t ask you where you are during the ceremony, not sure if they see your geographic location in Zoom somehow or not. But change the address or make sure someone can receive the certificates (citizenship certificate) for you at the address you have given on file to them...

    it takes anywhere between 1-4 weeks to get the certificate, it comes to you by regular mail. No fixed timeline again, some got it in 5 days, here is me waiting 2 weeks since the Oath was completed.

    I am going through the same stress, the reviews of CGI Toronto and BLS aren’t very promising in terms of time taken to process the OCI application, And it looks very much like a scam to me that you have to spend 5 times the money to surrender the passport as compared to what you spend on...

    We have seen anywhere between 2 weeks and 6 months here already, But if there is a pattern I could understand, then it was that those who had more time till their Citizenship Test (like yours), have the Oath coming in sooner, and those who had a reasonable timeline till the test (like me and...

    the email should be in soon, you have plenty of time so don’t be worried even until Feb 22nd or so. It will be an email and they will have the instructions laid down on it. 2 pieces of ID, on time, and the form should be ready (if printed and physical signature is the plan), if not then...

    It doesn’t really change anything. And it takes so long that you will still be waiting for weeks before you really hear anything. and the answer you get also might not be helpful, but it is something some people like to do.

    I don’t think involving the MP is going to change anything, Rather submit a query (takes 5$) or just wait. it has been slow for a lot of people, you are just one of us.

    Just finished the Oath Ceremony, (Lasted about 1.5 hour), all was easy and smooth, you just need 2 pieces of ID (you can include PR Card as one), You cut the PR card soon after screening and introductions and before going to the judge. The Mississauga office proclaimed to have been scheduling...

    I don’t think it takes too long to run a criminality check on someone, Shouldn’t bother you much, what they do after making a decision on file is even more scary.

    The email says it is required for people who became PR before 2002, That should be the case, same with record of landing.

    Sorry, One more question, The documents I should be carrying on me should be 2 pieces of ID only? Health Card / DL or PR card is fine? or I am also supposed to carry the COPR or record of landing? thank you.
