The oath form is the last page of invitation. After the ceremony you have to print it, sign it, scan it and send back. You can also sign electronically, although the instructions for that are actually more complicated, and somewhat contradictory (instructions say you cannot draw signature with...

Haha, federal government employees still riding the pandemic bonanza for all its worth. Are they planning to go back to pre-pandemic normal operations ever ? Covid is not going away, but it doesn't pose higher risk than other diseases at this point, so not sure what they are waiting for...

In Canada you can apply in one of the passport offices that offers urgent service, which means you can pick up the passport by the end of the next business day. You don't even need an appointment, but you have to wait in the walk-in line, which could be a few hours, depending on which office...

Yeah, I definitely feel lucky and glad that this process is finally finished. I'm just saying that 16 months processing time is probably slower than what I was hoping for in the beginning, and also many people get it faster, but unfortunately there are many people that have their application...

OP please update my dates on the spreadsheet, full details below: Application type: Family (1 adult + 2 minors) , paper App sent: 10/June/2021 App delivered: 14/June/2021 AOR: 17/Sep/2021 In process ecas: 1/Nov/2021 BG check completed: 24/Jan/2022 Test invite: 24/May/2022 Test taken...

Actually today the tracker shows case closed for everyone - myself and the children. Also, during the ceremony, I requested to pick up my certificate in person due to upcoming travel, so I picked it up today. I was told the children's certificates were mailed out, since I only request urgent...

My oath ceremony was yesterday (oct 4th) and today the tracker shows citzenship ceremony as completed, although the overall application status is still "in progress". For the children everything still shows in progress, except "prohibitions" that changed to completed today. Is that normal ?

I asked specifically by replying (again) to the oath invitation, if the non-photo health card, in addition to the PR-card, is sufficient ID for each child (who are under 14 years old and not attending) and got a confirmation that it is. So I will be attending the online oath ceremony next week...

I emailed IRCC and they confirmed the children under 14 don't have to attend. They said I need to have 2 pieces of ID (for each child), one of them being the PR card. For the second ID (for each child) I have the non-photo provincial health card. Any idea if it's ok the second ID does not have...

Hi, I'm in a similar situation - I applied for Canadian citizenship for myself and my two chidren who are under 14 years old, and I received the invites to take the oath on Oct 4th. I live in Canada, but the children are abroad and were not planning to return to Canada anytime soon, so I was...

Cool, that's also my understanding, although the invites have some ambiguous terms. Actually, they are abroad, but don't need to return to Canada soon, so they can wait for their Passport to be ready, or enter thru the land border with the citizenship certificates in case of emergency. Does...

Thanks. Yeah, they are both younger than 14 and they won't be taking the oath, but I was not clear if they need to be present, as I received an invite for each of them, as well as me. Do I need to have the kids ID documents and their PR cards ? Also do I need to have any other documents...

Do small children have to be present during the online oath ceremony, even if they are not taking the oath ?

Yeah, actually I tend to agree this is a good opportunity to send the travel documents just in case they need the additional verification, and I agree it probably can't hurt. BTW, I did notice one of my departures was missing in the CBSA records, and it's indeed for a flight from YYZ E gates...

Thanks. I'm also thinking of sending the additional arrival departure documents, but I'm not sure if these are actually needed by IRCC, or if including them would delay processing as they would have to spend time looking at them. So I wanted to know if it's better to just send them, or only...

I passed the test about 3 months ago, and noticed a ghost update a few days ago on Aug 31st. Today I got a request to send a scanned copy of the passport pages. I guess this is a common request, and is needed to verify the arrivals and departures, right ? I'm not sure if my passport actually...

Was your test marked completed after you passed it on Apr 01 ?

Please post in June 2022 thread.

Thanks. Yeah I guess it makes sense to wait and see if they ask for it. I wonder if there are other people who have missing departures on their arrival/departure CBSA record, and if in this case they're always contacted to provide verification of the travel dates they listed on the...

I passed the knowledge test a few weeks ago, and currently waiting for the language, prohibitions and physical presence which are in progress. I have a question about physical presence: when I requested my arrival & departure report from CBSA before submitting the citizenship application, I...
