Oath ceremony-Ottawa
- Thread starter beauhoe
- Start date
Ottawa does not have a judge of their own. A judge comes in on the 3rd week of every month and holds multiple ceremonies. So expect to see many ceremonies (one, two or may 3 per day) on the week of Nov 23. If you don't have oath on that week, then next oaths are going to be held on the 3rd week of December and so on and so forth. Many Ottawa applicants are going to receive oath letters this week and next week for the ceremonies to be held on the week of Nov. 23.boltz said:
Apparently the 3rd week actually means the one-but-last week of every month...
To re-enter you will need the passport.johoja said:
From my experience I found Ottawa passport office very fast. I applied in person for Regular Processing (I marked travel date as "Unknown" in the application). They said it will take 10 business days, and then exactly one week later I received the passport in my mailbox (They had sent it with Express post) ! It only took them 3 business days to process, I was impressed.
So, it really depends on your travel dates if you want to take the chance with regular processing and hope that it only takes one week like mine. Otherwise, if your dates are too soon and you don't want to risk it, you may want to consider Urgent Processing instead.
Congrats, what's your timeline?MariaMe said:Yeyyy!!! My eCas was just updated (It says updated Tuesdays but I checked it this morning and it wasn't updated the so this happened in the past hours).
