Oath Ceremony While Outside Canada - What Should I do?

[Sa3Sa3]

Although I informed them about my travel plans and received confirmation that it was forwarded to the processing office, I received an invitation today to the Oath ceremony on August 7th. It is a video ceremony.

I am currently in Egypt and will fly back to Canada on August 28th.

What should I do?

Should I reply to them asking for a reschedule, stating that I already informed them about my travel plans? Or should I proceed with the Oath ceremony and apply for the passport at the Canadian Embassy here in Egypt?

Any suggestions from anyone who has been in a similar situation?

Taking the oath outside of Canada is not possible.

You either return to Canada earlier and take the oath as scheduled from within Canada or you ask IRCC to postpone the oath to a later date.
