If you had clicked on the link I referenced above, you would have found your answer :) Just saying. People who wish to use their partner's last name may do so without changing their citizenship certificate as long as they can produce supporting ID in the requested name.

You actually cannot apply for a Canadian passport in the new name until you change your citizenship certificate as well so, if you are intending to change your name after receiving your citizenship, you should obtain a Canadian passport in your current name first before changing the name on your...

Actually, it depends. You probably won't be able to apply on the day of your ceremony but you MAY be able to apply on the next day. Officially, CIC does say you should allow 2 business days for your information to be entered into their systems. I took the oath on May 7th and was able to apply...

As you said, "This letter is supposed to be used to correct my other IDs." so use that letter to change the name on your driver's license and health card. In Ontario, if you bring your name change documentation to ServiceOntario, you will get a temporary driver's license and health coverage...

:) Congratulations once again. I was actually surprised that their 1.5-hour estimate was so accurate.

Yes

Looks like http://www.cic.gc.ca/citcer/search-recherche-eng.aspx updated some time between yesterday and this morning. I'm a little surprised that the May 7th ceremony is not listed there, so I guess they don't always post all ceremonies to this page? Kitchener Location: Citizenship and...

Congratulations!

:) Congrats! My e-CAS is still not updated.

Finally, received my oath invitation today. Ceremony is on May 7th!

Finally, received my oath invitation today. Ceremony is on May 7th!

So, I did receive the letter today :)

Well, I called the call centre again this morning. First call, the agent refused to access my file because it isn't 24 months yet since I submitted the application. Called again, and this time the agent confirmed again that my invitation letter was mailed on April 20th and my ceremony date is...

Still no letter today. And no e-CAS update
