Hello everyone,

As I understand, during the initial part of virtual oath ceremony, the IRCC official asks if you've been in trouble with the police, justice, law or immigration. Sometimes they ask for the last 4 years, or since the application was started, while in some cases they ask 'if you have EVER been in trouble with the police....'

Has there been anyone who got asked the 'have you EVER' version of the question and answered yes to it even though it wasn't something that'll prohibit you from citizenship? If yes, how did the officer handle it?

I have an upcoming virtual oath ceremony, and a situation from long back that was declared on PR application and won't prohibit me from citizenship. I am just asking for anyone's experience who was in the same boat, and if they ran into any issues with the IRCC agent during the oath ceremony.

Thank you for your help in advance!
