September 2021 - Citizenship Applications

[Bhaskarpaliwal]

Correct me if I am wrong your Oath date is 22nd August? and you got invite email already. Wow!!
Because if thats the case then you are lucky one. I have seen some people complaining they didn't receive till last day and normally they send only 2-3 days before ceremony.

Yes that is true

1- Oath certificate arrival varies case to case. Some people get in 2-3 days and for some it can be upto 4 weeks. Depends upon your processing office busyness. But you always can request urgent.

2- In person Passport can be get in same day from Service Canada specific location who deals with express service.

3- You need to process your OCI, I believe with BLS. (I have no idea on this. Its just based on Forum Knowledge)

Postponing for 4 month is not good idea, Just do it IMHO.

I concur with your advise. Postponing the citizenship ceremony is definitely not a good idea.
You need to surrender your Indian passport and apply for the OCI through BLS. I am not aware if there is a provision for urgent processing of the OCI though.

Please Help
Hello Everyone,
OTH invitation received on the tracker. Date is 17 Aug 2022.
My confusion
I have scheduled a vacation for India on the 30th of September. Is there anyone who has any knowledge and personal experience about the below question I have please help..
1) How many days will it take to get Oth certificate?
2) How can I apply for an Emergency Canadian passport? ( As I read I can pay 110$ fees and I can get a fast passport in 2-3 days In-person appointment)
3) How to surrender my Indian passport and how can I get an Indian visitor visa in a 20-25 days time period?

Or I should postpone this Oth for 4 months. / Can I ask them to change my date from 17 Aug to the first week of August? I know this sounds funny.....

Thank you

You may want to do further research on this but I have read on the Indian government website that you can use the Indian passport for 3 months after obtaining foreign citizenship.

Not sure if this has been tested or the practicality of it, so do definitely check in it before trying it out. Link to the website provided below:
