After waiting for over 3 years, I finally saw the IN PROCESS update against the Oath ceremony category on my application yesterday, and it says the Oath ceremony is on November 6th. I am yet to receive an email confirming this and giving details of the ceremony(in person/virtual)etc. Is there anyone else here for November 6th? I have made travel plans as I was not expecting this update and now I am wondering if I should reschedule the ceremony. Are they receptive to such requests? I am told we are allowed to reschedule once. Any experiences with this?
If your reason is serious one they do accept. Others they don't. Rescheduling is tricky as many don't see the new date for 6+ months too. If you can reschedule your travel plans get your oath done.

Thanks will definitely remember this…
Another question I had…

Is it possible to travel to Canada if the PR card has expired for the oath ceremony ?

Thank you. It was super fun!! the judge is so nice and one MP attended the ceremony too. There were 55 people who got it yesterday from 13 countries. It was mainly in English but certain parts bilingual too. Judge in her speech was tying her family experience with new comers and how proud she is. The whole lot sang for my son too (when judge asked how old was he and he said he was turning 12 in 2 days,) she annouced to wish him but everyone sang.

It was indeed one memorable event.

1st you enter then they check documents then they let you in (they just checked notice, consent form n DL for adults and Health card for kids).
Made a bunch with consent and pr cards and let us in. Then next step the clerk took the pr cards and made us sign. After that announcement on order of event. Then judge enters. She speaks, then Oath taking biliingual. After that certificate handover sign again for adults, then MP speaks then O canada and both judge and MP leaves. Ceremony ends then again judge n MP comes in for photo sessions.
Hi, i have in person oath too in the Kitchener IRCC office. I did not receive the email yet. What do they check when you go inside? thansk
