Expired ids (driver license, health card) at oath ceremony

[Gibe]

My question is similar to the one found in this thread posted 3 years ago: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/citizenship-oath-ceremony-identification-documents.371285/#post-7291400

I will have my oath ceremony in a few weeks. But I'm currently working abroad and my driver's license and Health cards have just expired. I'll be back a few days before the oath, but I will have only my birth country passport and PR card as not expired ID for the oath.

Do you think that might be a problem? And in case they ask for IDs should I give them the expired Ids (the notice doesn't state they still need to be valid) or my passport?

Thanks!

I believe I already gave you an answer on this. They only asked for the PR Card and Landing Certificate.

Yes thanks again, but someone on the other thread suggested that I create a new one. That might help others .

As observed over the forums, including my own ceremony experience, they don't check our IDs. All they'd be interested is in three things: (1)PR cards, to take them off our hands, (2)oath invite letter, to cross-check, mark the attendance against the noted seating arrangements and (3)media release form, which was attached to the invite letter.

During my Oath Ceremony in Kitchener, they DID check ID before cross-check of the attendance list. I supplied my home country passport.

If you wold like to have the new docs, you can do a new drive license and health card very easy and fast before the Oath ceremony.

For renewing the cards, it takes some time the receive the ones with picture and signature. They just issue temporary ones at first.

But anyway, thanks a lot for your answers. In case ids are requested, I will show them my passport.

Alright let’s conclude this thread.

At the ceremony they asked for the 2 ids in top of the PR card. I showed them my expired driving license and my foreign passport and it went ok.

Thanks again for the tips.
