Updated citizenship journey completed: Application type: Online Location: Vancouver Physical presence: 1097 Application: Single Applications sent: Jan 7th 2022 Application received: Feb 28th Citizenship test invite: Sept 20th FP request: Sept 22nd (sent Sept 27th from outside Canada) Test...

Update: This totally worked. I had a teams meeting running (muted and camera off but shared screen) for my family members who couldn't be physically in the room with me. They could see and hear the oath.

Oh that's a really good idea! I can't imagine any reason this wouldn't work on a technical level, bandwidth depending. I'll experiment!

Ah, that's a real shame. My family were going to fly if it was in person, but just join online for an online one. :(

Does anyone know if it's possible for overseas family members (or even those not in the same room as you physically) to join the online oath ceremony? The email invite doesn't mention it and I can't seem to get an answer from IRCC.

Generally speaking my understanding is that anything outside of PR is counted as a half day, which is then capped at 365 days (so if you did two years on a working holiday visa you would only get 1 year in citizenship days). PR is counted as full days. So you either need 3 years on PR or 2 years...

I did. I informed them when they scheduled the test. I changed my Canadian address to one of a friend. When I had my interview (also on Zoom), the agent said this wasn't a problem, it was only an issue for the oath. He did grill me on what I would do if I was scheduled in, say, 3 days. I said I...

No they don't.

I didn't, but did once I was asked. I didn't leave till after I had applied, so it only was needed when they were scheduling the test (which you can do abroad).

Definitely doesn't. I left 2 days after eligibility for a job offer, all has been approved now and am just waiting for the oath date email. I was honest, told them I was abroad, and it didn't hold my application up either.

Divorced, surely? They'll do background check, and as marriage is a legal thing wont this show up? It wont make much difference if they get back to you and be like "oh, you're single now, we will just list that" but you *are* divorced, as in you have entered a legal marriage before. If you put...

It only refers to the 1095 days. Time after that does not impact your physical presence. You do not need to be physically present in Canada to apply for citizenship, that is not one of the requirements of citizenship. Guide: Application for Canadian Citizenship: Adults - Subsection 5(1) CIT...

You can, as long as you have the 1095 days. There is nothing on the website saying you have to be physically in Canada (I'm not), travel dates change and you can put down an expected date even without a ticket booked. Don't say you're back already even though you're not, but put in your...

Hi all, I'm really hoping for an in-person oath. I just feel as it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience, doing it with a group of people together, with all the ceremony, would be preferable. I know that the email currently states that asking for an in-person oath is possible but that it may delay...

They asked for all pages of mine, but maybe each case is different depending on what they need?

Do it abroad, $2000 is ridiculous. There is no reason you can't take the test online abroad.

I think do whatever makes you feel comfortable. It's not essential to do the test in Canada, but if you think it is and it'll help you feel more relaxed then do that. The interviews are a mix, most are online but some are in person as they try to clear the backlog of cases from the pandemic...

From previous years (pre pandemic) interview was standard, and it seems to be going back to that way now too. If you've been out of Canada more than 6 months you will need to do another criminal check from the country you've been in (they will ask for that at the prohibitions stage). It's...

If you're clear that you can return and will be willing and able to do so, then they don't really have any reason to put it on hold. To be safe, in all communication do state you're willing and able to return, you just don't have a ticket or date yet, but if they asked you you will go. In my...
