So finally going to have oath in Ottawa next wk.

Few questions if anybody has been to Oath ceremony at Ottawa.

One of my 10 yrs old is also on application and letter says he can attend the ceremony but i have other one who is 5 and already a canadian citizen by birth so if i could take him if yes if he is allowed to sit with us and there will be no one else with us.

Thanks

Does anybody knows how long it takes to have oath letter or further explanations after decision made?? I got a decision made today but no further explanations. I got a fingerprint request exactly 3 months ago and did my test exactly 4 months ago.

Yes, it's ridiculous. Ottawa is very very slow in scheduling oath. I have been waiting since Jan 2016 for oath. More than 3 months and no word on oath and top of that only 1 Oath date in May :eek:? Seriously??? Ottawa, Capital of Canada, WAKE UP!!!!

One Question.

I am a Toronto Applicant. When we received oath, Does the ecas updates with 5th point or it just substitute the test invitation and become 4th point itself?

Hi,I'm not from Ottawa but when I took my oath,one man was with his 2 daughters as well. One daughter is maybe 8 or 9 and one is 5 or 6.....like yours,one is Canadian and one is attending her oath with the Father. He has no one with him too. CIC officer said it was OK for both his kids to be sitting with him. CIC officer later announced (for everyone ) that parents with their kids to please keep their kids as quiet as they can and if they feel that kids are disrupting the ceremony then parents can take their kids out for a few minutes but if the parent is the one taking oath,he/she has to make sure he's back in in time for the oath taking (reciting the oath of allegiance).
Congratulations and enjoy that momentous day!

Yup. There will be a 5th line on your Ecas,stating your oath date and time.
