Concerns About Traveling Back to Home Country as a New Canadian Citizen

Hi everyone, I recently obtained my Canadian citizenship on December 12, 2024, through the refugee route. I’m planning to travel back to my home country for my marriage, as proxy marriages are not accepted in Canada. I’m wondering if this could cause any issues.

From what I understand, as long as there was no misrepresentation in my refugee claim, there shouldn’t be any risk of having my citizenship revoked. However, I came across a post on Facebook where someone claimed that after returning to Canada from their home country, they were questioned thoroughly by CBSA. They even had to sign some papers and later received a letter (Even though Canada post was on strike) revoking their citizenship. I’m not sure if that individual was confused, as the post was made on their behalf by someone else.

Is there any real risk in traveling back to my home country as a Canadian citizen? Has anyone experienced this or knows of potential issues? Thank You :)

No issue traveling to your home country after citizenship.
