First Canadian Passport - can you apply from abroad

[garbaczpaula]

Have our citizenship oath in August, can I fly to Europe and apply for our first Canadian passports from Europe at an embassy? Will we be allowed to leave Canada without Canadian passports? We have European passports.

Yes. Getting passport abroad will take longer. You may find it easier to get it done urgently in Canada, but you can definitely do abroad.

Note the requirements for guarantors/references - that may be harder outside Canada.
