June 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[ss01]

Hello guys,

Need some advise on travelling during the process. I applied online in June and my Background check was updated to completed on Nov 26th and still waiting. I am planning to travel to India for 3 weeks next month. Do I need to update this information to the IRCC? If yes do I just send them the web form with the travel details?

Thanks in advance!

I think there's significant movement recently given many have reported here that they got ceremony invitation, myself included.

I do have worries however, since I have booked travel in mid Feb, I'm afraid I won't be getting my Canadian passport in time. (2-4 weeks for citizenship certificate to arrive, then 10-20 business days for passport. But my travel is 5 weeks after ceremony).

Has anyone tried expedite the citizenship certificate? What's your experience?

It sucks that Canadian citizens can only use Canadian passport to come back to Canada. I have a perfectly good passport from my home country but it becomes useless after becoming a Canadian citizen as they only recognize canadian passport if you're flying back to canada.

I read that you can get urgent Canadian passport in 2 days if travel evidence is shown, also you can land in USA and enter Canada by drive using citizenship certificate if you have USA visa

It will start working again once your oath is done. Many people who have oath scheduled face this issue.
