Accidentally used VPN for citizenship ceremony

[empatio]

I know there were some questions about this before, so I'll share my experience. I used VPN during my ceremony because I simply forgot to turn it off. Both my real and VPN location was in Canada. I realized it was on when I tried to log in to my tracker after the ceremony and it didn't let me in (because of using VPN). So, they could have known I'm using VPN (if they bothered to check). I didn't have any issues. I assume they have their ways to check if you are in Canada. My guess is that either they can see behind the VPN or they can check with CBSA if there is any suspicion. Or they don't. I was in Canada so I can't really tell if and how they check. Anyways, if you leave your VPN on during the ceremony (which I don't recommend), it shouldn't be an issue.

It's ok. You were in Canada and that's all they care about.

I don't think host can see your IP in Zoom anyway, so you should be fine.

You should be fine.
Zoom will block you entering the oath meeting if your IP is not in Canada.

how did you get this conclusion? did anyone try to enter oath zoom meeting outside of Canada, and failed?

Yes. They can see you are outside of Canada.

Yes. They can see you are outside of Canada.

just curious, based on what？ IP address or CBSA entry and exist records?
