November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[azzokhalifa]

I requested an urgent processing on December 11th and it got added to my file but no movement yet. I just got off the phone with ircc and she said that my physical presence and prohibition haven’t started yet rest is completed . Does that mean my request got denied ?

 

[azzokhalifa]

Did you ask whether your request has been accepted or denied?

I did she says wait for a response

Sometimes, since they forward it to your office.

Yup, may be my application is in the processing time limit may be that's why!

Guess I have to wait for 16 months to end, 3 more months to go haha

Let's see what it will say in your notes, I know how frustrating the wait can be but you're almost there.

In my "E-Certificate Ceremony Information Letter" it mentions that E-Certificates are available for download in portal Up to 5 business days after the ceremony(once you submit your signed Oath or Affirmation of Citizenship form)

In our invitation to take oath, we have different seat numbers for zoom meeting for each member of the family. Do we need to open separate zoom session for each of us? We can just take the oath together as family using one seat number, right?

You can all take the oath together but enter all seat numbers. You don't need to open a separate one. Using one zoom link, you can enter all 3 seat numbers like 10, 11, 12

**UPDATE – July 06, 2023**

We became Canadian Citizens today.

Few things I would like to share with the forum.

• Oath ceremony was online – Zoom.
• My 8-year-old didn’t attend the online oath as he was minor.
• We logged in at 7.40 am. Actual time was 7.45 am. Total time: 1 hr. 45 mins.
• Requested e-certificate rather than paper mailing. The concerned official is aware of it, and she said she is going to send me link to download citizenship certificate for all three family members after sending signed oath forms.
• Emailed signed oath forms as a combined pdf to email mentioned in oath document.

Next steps: I will apply passport early next week after receiving e-certificate.

I will post timeline of passport application after we receive Canadian passports.

My timelines are posted in November 2022 applicants spreadsheet.

Thank you all!

Hi @rbkg - I'm wondering if you could share on whether you need to sign on the minor (child)'s Oath Form and send it together as well? The instruction says that parents don't need to sign for the child, and don't need to send it either.

But I saw some people saying that you should email an "empty" oath form for the minor as well. Would you please share some experience? Thanks!

hi guys, we can update the November sheet, right?
I added my BG updated date, is that okay?

Hi,

We only submitted ours (myself and spouse) signed oath forms during that time. We were able to download our e-certs the same day and minor happened the following morning.

For us on the oath day, the administrative officer asked to mention her initials in the subject line when sending an email so that she is aware of our information including minor details

Hope this helps and good luck to you.
