Another friend also got his Oath today. We all were scheduled together on April 7th, so something is moving in Winnipeg. Virtual Oath !!!

When was his original oath-taking date? Did they call your friend or they inform him through email?

I was supposed to have my oath taking on Mar 16, but was cancelled due to covid and until now I haven't got any invite.

Thank you in advance.

Hi all,
I took the oath today.
It was a short but nice video ceremony and I affirmed in French and English as well as cut my PR card. The confirmation is due in the post in 2-4 weeks.
What an adventure it has been!
Good luck everyone.

Congrats on taking your oath... I have a question.... Did you have to sing the national anthem or they just tell you what to say during the ceremony... im a bit nervous but i think i will do good though when my times come... One last thing... what paper did you have to sign and send it back to them...

Hi,
It was just me, an official and a another public servant so there was no singing. As far as i remembered it went something like this:

- show two pieces of ID
- answer some questions about citizenship responsibilities
- take the oath (you get prompts, there were only me, an official and another public servant there)
- cut the PR card
- show landing record/IMM 1000 (i'm not sure why, but since I don't have anything else until the citizenship confirmation arrives, not sure about the details)
- sign paper and post or sign pdf electronically and email

We're still waiting for test invite for my mom. We applied in May 2019.
For virtual oath, I always thought it's a group oath...hm...interesting to know it's one person.. So now I wonder how that works for my mom, who doesn't speak English at all (75 years old). Sure I'll be there as interpreter, but the oath itself, I don't know how she's gonna read it out loud.

Never mind. Just curious.

Hi,

Based on my personal experience and few members who shared theirs here,I believe IRCC has slowly started increasing the number of applicants in the virtual ceremony but not like 10s or 20s, still in single digit which is manageable.

I had mine yesterday along with another applicant. But in your mother's case I think it might still be one person only as she is elderly.

As and when she gets a virtual oath invitation, please don't worry the IRCC clerk and judge are very friendly and accommodating as they are aware of the challenges of conducting the oath ceremony virtually. Yesterday, in my ceremony too there were few interruptions due to network problem and they were super cool as it was happening not just on the applicant's side but also on their side.

Coming to the language part, I do not speak or understand French but we were given oath in both languages. I just repeated the sound I heard while taking the oath in French and the judge was saying one or two words at a time so that the applicant can repeat them with least issue and waited patiently for us to complete. But I understand the challenges of an elderly person. While you are waiting for the invite you may want to google and download the oath audio for your mother and practice with her so that she will be confident. Again just my opinion but it's up to you how you would want to proceed. In any case, all the best for your mother's oath invitation and the actual ceremony.

Take care.
