Urgent Passport After Oath

Valid points Yolka! What's your passport office ?Yolka said:It is entirely up to you, if you want to ask the officers at the Oath go ahead but I do not think they can do anything for you re the passport (Do not raise the issue before the Ceremony starts) you never know what can happen). We were told at the Ceremony to apply after two days only, I even went to the passport office the same day to try my luck but was told NOPE, even for Urgent to wait 2 days!
But if you are sure you can apply from abroad then do that, as I said I am not 100% sure the officers at the Oath can help with the passport.
Best,
Here is the list of all the passport offices location in Canada. If you apply in person you can choose the one nearest to you.bangloboy said:

I chose Mississauga passport office since it was closer to me. My citizenship application office was Scarborough but was too far to go back for a passport. All the best.
technically , it will be hard for you to get urgent passport that early ..
however you can explore other options
like getting temp traveling documents from can embassy abroad ..
it will atleast let you come back without any issue ..
i dont know much about these procedures but you might wanna call embassy and see what they say
about this
Application for a Travel Document (Permanent Resident Abroad)
if that applies in your case or not .

I was in a similar situation; I booked my flight for 4 days after my scheduled oath ceremony for a business trip out of country.
I applied for the passport the very next day of my oath; the guy at the counter accepted my application but did tell me that I'm not even in the system yet. Anyways, I got my passport a day before my flight.
I'd recommend that you go to the passport office, explain your situation, AND, this is very important, put human touch to the whole thing. Tell the guy or gal at the passport office that you need help and that the trip which you planned long ago is important for family or career reasons. If the person is reasonable, he will find a way to help you.
Oh, and take you guarantor with you and give readiness call to your references. They called my references while I was still in the passport office.
Good luck!

You can inform the citizenship clerk about the situation, they may or may not announce this option during the oath ceremony. But you can tell her, you need to apply for passport urgently as soon as your oath is done as you need to travel. she should be able to explain and expedite the process. Data entry immediate after the oath, document issued from officials and they may instruct you to go to a passport office after that for rush processing.bangloboy said:

That's awesome that you'll be able to apply for a passport tomorrow. I know you'll be busy the next few days, but can you kindly do us a favour and share your experience with Passport Canada? Much appreciated. Congratulations and have a safe trip.bangloboy said:Just got my Oath today! Was a great feeling.
