Hi !! I need a help to clarify the issue of "Citizenship Authorization Certificate". After taking oath how long it takes to receive my "Citizenship Authorization Certificate"? can I travel outside Canada to another country where I am working which is not my present passport country before receiving the "Citizenship Authorization Certificate" immediately after taking oath.?

You can travel immediately after taking oath but you won't be able to come back to Canada without a Canadian passport. It could take anywhere between 4 business days and 6 weeks to receive your citizenship certificate. You can only apply for a Canadian passport after you receive the citizenship certificate. If you are abroad, you will also need the original citizenship certificate to apply for passport at a Canadian consulate in the country where you are working.
Hi Rajkamal. Thank you so much for your answer.
