Some have replied to the same email and requested for an e-certificate and they have approved it. You can try it, if you interested in e-certificate.

Greetings -

I applied March 2022 and only just got invited for the test which I wrote a few days ago and passed. I was not in the country and got approval to write the test outside Canada.

However, I got an email asking me whether I am back in the country (I am not) and if the answer is "No", I should send proof of my departure from Canada a (I left a month ago and happy to send them the flight ticket. I was also asked to send every page of my current passport.

Question - do I absolutely have to fly back into Canada to respond to the email? Also, I am unsure when I will be back (probably in another month), would that mean that the process cannot move ahead (after having sent the evidence) simply because I am not able to type "Yes" to currently being in the country.

Thank You!!!

Interesting... I am also interested in knowing the reasoning behind their question.

As far as I know, being in Canada is not a requirement after you apply for Citizenship. The only requirement is having enough points (days in Canada) when you applied. For that reason, I hope that they don't stop someone's process (ie: no oath invitation) just because they are still outside Canada.

It's also interesting that they're asking for proof of departure, instead of proof of return (in case the answer is "yes"). It feels like they have reasons to think you're in Canada and want proof since you said you're not.
