Finally I am a citizen of Canada ! The oath ceremony went smoothly. I joined the zoom meeting at the designated time. I had to wait in the virtual waiting
room for 20 minutes before being let in. After being let in the officer asked my name. She assigned me to a particular break out room. I was transferred to the break out room. Here another officer verified my name etc. I showed my licence, health card and PR card. She explained the procedure. Then I was transferred to the ceremony room. About 40 applicants, the judge and other administrative staff were present in ceremony room. The judge briefly addressed all the applicants. Then everybody read out the oath in english line by line following the lead of the judge. Then everybody did the same in French. The judge instructed everybody to read out in French even if they are not good at the language. One should hold the right hand upright while taking the oath. One can optionally put the left hand on a holy book. Then I was transferred to the same break out room. The same officer then requested to cut the PR card into four pieces. Also I filled out the oath of citizenship form. I filled in my full name, signed at two places and put dates at two places. The whole thing took about 60 minutes.

After the ceremony I scanned the signed formed and sent my email. After 3 days I received my certificate of citizenship by mail. Best luck to everyone.

This part broke my heart a little: "The same officer then requested to cut the PR card into four pieces."... It's such a nice designed card, a symbol of all our hard work get it... would love to keep it framed or something, but of course citizenship/passport is much more important. haha!

Good idea, by the way! Why not to keep the cut pieces, assemble them back and frame? I think it will look fine. Better to use very sharp scissors to minimize damages to the card though

Ohh that's a good suggestion! Didn't think of it, will try it to cut very carefully then, haha. Cut card will show our Canada journey more accurate lol.
