PR can be references. Only the guarantor needs to be a citizen.

Congrats on your oath ceremony and hope you have got your certificate as well. For the passport, they didn't insist specifically, but they did understand that we had to process the Indian visa which would take time as well. I also showed my email confirmation of my BLS Visa appointment which...

I had it in my hand, but the officer didn't ask me. Just reviewed the travel date I mentioned in my application.

Hello All, Just wanted to share my experience with my Passport application. My wife and I took a day off to travel to Kitchener office for walk-in application. Our plan was to be there by 7AM at least as most people had suggested, but we weren't feeling well so had a very late start. By the time...

I live in Toronto and my processing office was Mississauga. Details are in my signature

We are just the lucky ones who are getting processed fast. Mostly because of our application time aligns with the upcoming election in May. So things are moving pretty fast comparatively.

Hey Guys, Finally got our Oath Ceremony completed today. It was nostalgic and worth the wait. We are now proud Canadians :). So now for the next wait for the certificate, passport and OCI. Alas! one big milestone completed. @Strongfaith42 Thank you for your guidance and this amazing thread...

Congrats @MikeEH. Seems like they been increased the oath scheduling from last week. i got mine scheduled for 7th April.

Yes but the problem is I won't be able to get back into Canada since we cut the PR Card at the oath ceremony. There wouldn't be any issues for me in entering India but I will not have any other travel visa for return. I could use my Canadian passport but I heard it's an hassle and customs can...

Thanks @dineshrehab and @vvarma. I see some posts where applicants mentioned processing OCI with just the ARN. Is that incorrect then and I have to wait till I get SC in hand to apply for OCI?

My application is also being processed in Mississauga office. I got my test cleared and didn't get an update of test completion till Jan 16th (that too after I vigorously followed up). They have been pretty slow from what I saw on other applications. Hoping we will get some updates on Oath by...

Congrats @$Navi$ @Mexontario. I had my decision made on Jan 25th, still nothing. Hopefully something turns up next week.

Congrats. I am in the same spot. You would receive oath invite within a month or two.

Thanks @Strongfaith42. Guess its back to the wait game :). Now looking into the next challenge for my travel plans to India. Heard its taking quite sometime for the OCI card and indian passport surrender certificate. i cant travel with my Canadian Passport unless I have the card or the travel visa.
