It’s funny how we started this journey almost at the same time and now it’s the same day for oath.

- Thread starter JJS
- Start date
Hello Peeps,
I have passed my test on Jan 25, 2018 from Scarborough office but have not received any updates since then for my oath. It says online Decision Made. Any feedback ?

@Joeeyes yes, it will be an issue if you don't have it - you need to present (and surrender) it when you check in on the day.
Applicant forgets to bring PR card
Local office staff will make arrangements with the applicant to return, with the PR card, to another ceremony. Officers will use judgment in determining whether an exception should be made to allow applicants to participate in a ceremony with the understanding that they will become citizens, but receive only the commemorative document at that time. For example, in case of circuits (remote ceremonies) held only twice a year, it may not be practical for the client to return in person to attend another ceremony the same day. Also, the operational requirements of the office should be taken into account. In this case, the declaration CIT 0468 is completed at the time of the ceremony and a copy may be given to the applicant. An envelope, with the local office address, is given to the client for ease of sending the PR card. The applicant’s printed file with the citizenship certificate will be retained at the local office until the applicant brings or sends the PR card.
If the client does not return with or send in the PR card within 30 days, the local office sends a reminder to the client, and again after 90 days a second reminder is sent. After six months, the citizenship file and certificate is returned to CPC Sydney for retirement. The local office should add a client note to GCMS.

You will need the PR card or you will need to have completed the Solemn Declaration concerning a Permanent Resident card that was lost, stolen, destroyed or never received (CIT 0459E).
If you do not complete that form before your ceremony then you may not be given your official citizenship certificate at the ceremony, or even barred from taking the ceremony and end up being rescheduled for a later ceremony.
The instructions for IRCC staff are in https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/canadian-citizenship/admininistration/general-file-processing/revocation-permanent-resident-cards-upon-granting.html -- search for "lost or stolen" in that page to find the relevant section.
So, if you can't find the card get in touch with IRCC to report the loss and find out if you can deal with that paperwork before your ceremony.
(the section quoted by kiwigirlincanada applies if you do not declare the card lost, but just forgot to bring it to the ceremony, so make sure to tell IRCC that the card is lost rather than forgotten)
Hi guys finally I did my test today get 20 / 20 March 15 my ceremony usually they do the test and ceremony in the same week here in Fort McMurray. Wish the rest of you good luck.
