URGENT: Oath Ceremony and Prohibitions Form Question

[Lux et Veritas]

Dear all,

My oath ceremony is tomorrow in Mississauga. Quick questions:

1. In my oath invite letter I received a prohibitions form which I signed- am I supposed to sign in the event itself? Would signing it today cause a problem? It didn't say in the invite that I had to sign in front of the CO.

2. Do we have to memorise the oath or can we read it off the invite paper?

Appreciate your advice as I'm freaking out and worried. Cheers.

You're good. You can sign it anytime you want. So it's OK that you have already signed it.

No you don't have to memorize it. They will give it to you and you can read it / sing it at the end of the ceremony.

Congrats for tomorrow.

congratulations! I have mine tomorrow at Mississauga too!

Did you receive a media release form too? Does anyone know if everyone gets one or only certain ceremonies?

Thanks!

Hey ScubaC
Yes I got the form and you can sign it before the ceremony- everyone gets one and they have to sign. Cheers.

Thank you all for your wishes. So it's official- I did the oath! In total the process took 2 hours which is not bad (Mississauga is very good).

You'll need the notice, PR card and confirmation of permanent residence (I took other stuff but they didn't ask for it)

While you have the option to say the oath in English or French, I did it in both languages only because I speak them but it's up to you so those of you who were wondering, you'll be fine.

In the end, you'll also sing "O Canada" and you can choose English, French, or bilingual it's totally fine.

Wish all of you the best!

Quick question: for the passport application, I am reading some people here say we need 2 pieces of ID when application says only 1. Confused- appreciate any clarification. Cheers.
