Hey guys! after seeing your updates for oath ceremony, I just went to check my online tracker, and surprisingly found out my oath ceremony is scheduled for December 23 as well!I haven't received any emails yet. My processing office is Scarborough. Does anyone know if the oath ceremony will be online or in person?

Yes. They rescheduled to November 25 at 11am after I provided my reasons for urgent processing and sent documentation with proof.

I also agreed to apply for urgent processing of the passport to be able to receive it before my trip.

They mentioned that I'll receive an e-mail with instructions one week before the ceremony.

Awesome! Happy for you! (I) did your tracker change to reflect that ? (II) did you speak with them at the call center or use the webform .... (III) im not sure my reason would qualify to be honest so not sure whether to even ask.

Yes, the tracker changed after a few hours. I sent a webform and email to the address I sent the passport copies. They replied to the email.

This is their guidance:
To apply for urgent processing of your Ceremony, you must have an emergency, such as:
• needing Canadian citizenship to:
o apply for a job
o avoid losing your job
o go to a Canadian school, college or university
• needing to travel because of death or serious illness in your family and you can’t get a passport in your current nationality
Even if these conditions apply to you, we may not be able to process your request urgently. If we do process your request urgently, we may not be able to do it in time to help your situation.

Hello Everyone, I'm a December 2020 Applicant and not seeing much update on my file. Here's my timeline so far.

Application submitted: December 22, 2020(Online)
AOR Received: April 14, 2021
Fingerprint requested: August 25, 2021
Fingerprint Done: August 27, 2021.

The tracker was updated October 15 but none of the information was updated. Language, physical presence, background and prohibitions all in progress. Citizenship test and ceremony not started.

I applied from Toronto and my processing office is Vancouver.

Is anyone else who applied this time in similar situation? This is so frustrating...

Hi guys, looks like a lot of people submitted their applications successfully online. I got 2 questions. 1)Do we need to submit all passport pages online as well?
2)what specs did you guys follow for digital photo, it says max 420x540 pixels, when I resize my photo to this size picture become super tiny and less than 60kb. Is it normal?

1- You do not need to submit all passport pages when you submit the online application. The form will specify what pages are needed. Later in the application process they might request a scanned copy of all pages of the passport, but it's not needed when submitting the application.
2 - You cannot resize the picture. The photographer needs to take the picture and provide the file with the correct specifications.

You would still have to upload the IELTS results from the EE application to the citizenship application. You don't need to take a new test.
