Outside Canada for the Citizenship Oath Ceremony

[abny876]

Hello Everyone,

This is bit of a silly question but I have to ask to ascertain.

I am currently in the US and my Canadian citizenship application has been processed and my oath is in progress.

My oath is scheduled for the 30th of March and I am guessing we get the invitation email a week before the oath.

My question is do I have to be in Canada ‘at the time’ I receive the invitation for the citizenship ceremony. I am happy to travel to Canada on the 30th of March for the Oath and the Ceremony. I know mostly likely it will be a virtual ceremony so I will attend it from Toronto. The CIC website says that at the time of invitation if we are not in Canada we have to let them know. I am confused because I am willing to travel for the ceremony.

Also I have my PR card but don’t have my Confirmation of Permanent Residence. I think I might have lost it. Will a PR card, Health Card and my stamped passport be sufficient in the ceremony.

Thanks a lot!

You don't have to be in Canada when you receive the email but you must ensure to attend the ceremony on March 30th in Canada. Don't worry, when they say to inform them if you are not in Canada at the time of the invitation applies only if you cannot make it back in time for the ceremony.


You do not need your Confirmation of Permanent Residence. You'll be grant.

Congrats!

Did you take Oath Outside Canada or you came back to Canada for it. I am in similar situation and need some guidance. Thanks

You need to be physically in Canada when you take the oath.
