December 2017 - Citizenship Applicants

[mazamilam]

Hello All,

I became a Canadian Citizen yesterday. My ceremony was in Mississauga at 12:30PM. I would guess and say there were many people there that are part of this forum. Congratulations to them all.

I had 3 guests with me. The lineup of applicants to go into the hall to hand in your paperwork started around 12:30 pm. We were 105 people. It took about half an hour for all the applicants to hand it their initial paperwork and PR card and get a seat. By the way, your seat number is on your Oath invite form in the address box on the bottom right corner.

Each new citizen got a Canadian Charted of Rights poster, a Canada Maple Leaf pin, a book with some information and special offers, a flag and off course the Citizenship Certificate. We were told that we should be able to apply for our passports by Friday, 2 business days.

After the ceremony was over, we had a chance to take photos with the judge as well as our own family.

Good luck to everybody else!

As this is a December thread, I would assume most of us are done with the oath and a citizen now. Congratulations to everyone who are done and good luck to those who are waiting.
I had my oath ceremony done yesterday and this morning I applied for the passport. As soon as you see your status as "complete" you are good to apply even though they suggest to wait 2 days.
The ceremony was smooth although the initial check in took about an hour for around 70 people.

Thanks everyone in this forum for answering questions when it was needed. Happy holidays

I did call my MP earlier this week and CIC came up with a bunch of excuses for being this late, blaming me for going on vacation for a few weeks. Lol
MP mentioned they forwarded a letter to the processing office and should hear back within 10 business days.
Fingers crossed. Wish me luck
