congratulation,
check next week for the first week of september dates. it updates periodically. you will get your instuctions in the email. you need to print the invitation with the Personal Release and Consent Form and sign it, your pr card and 2 pieces of id. how do you know that ceremony is in-person if you havent receive the email? and yes you get citizenship certificate at the ceremony you can get the email at anytime, even up to a few days before the actual ceremony.
IRCC will send you a notice to submit fingerprints if they need it. Not everyone need to submit fingerprints only selected applicants. They will give you 30 days for it and has to be done inside Canada at a RCMP accredited place.
thanks! It was smooth. First they match your name with your id and let you in. Then you register by providing 2 ids ( 1 PR Card and the other can be any other id with photo and signature).They will take your PR card and will ask they you had any issue with the law. Then you take a sit and wait for the completion of all registrations. Than Judge comes and provides a background about Canada, Aboriginals etc. Than we took oath and sang Oh Canada! After that we got our certificates.
Thank you for your reply.
You should be getting the invite email by this week. Ours was also at 10.30 while the website stated that ceremonies are at 9, 11.30 and 2. We were also confused but I guess the 11.30 as per the website is actually the 10.30 ceremony plus 1 hour for Check In and Registration. We reached there at 10 and had to wait outside for 30 mins. You can reach anytime between 10 to 10.30 as doors open at exact 10.30 and there's a line up.
