Is your oath scheduled for online yet?
Per forum posts, they are asking if you are inside Canada hence possibly currently you wont be able to get invite if you tell that you are outside. Nowadays they are calling and confirming before they send out invite.
Also if embassy/consulate is not open worldwide then how would you take oath there? And that too during current situation even if they open, they wont be entertaining you for this is my guess. Did you call any embassy who can accommodate this request?
This is what written on the Oath Ceremony Invitation:
"By agreeing to participate in this video oath ceremony, you confirm that you will be taking the Oath of citizenship in Canada."
"By agreeing to participate in this video oath ceremony, you confirm that you will be taking the Oath of citizenship in Canada."
Would add that if someone misleads and claims they are in Canada they could then lose their citizenship just in case someone was considered doing this.
Hi! Did you take your virtual oath outside Canada? Or did you go back to Canada for oath?
What about your virtual oath? Did you take it outside Canada?
It does not look that way. The pdf document looks like a draft of a proposal written about one year ago, and it merely refers to the possibilities
Yup, there is nothing concrete in that document - It simply lists the possibility of taking oath overseas for "eligible" applicants.
Let's wait and find out if someone who applied under 5(1) "actually" took oath outside Canada.

In this case, CIC won't even issue an invitation if someone is outside Canada? ( as they are notified).
I thought we can always get an invitation and fly back to Canada , however i understand now that being outside the country maybe considered as a blocker
No, not exactly. If you are outside Canada, you might still get a notification on the dashboard and oath email. You can return to Canada to take oath. However, there is no evidence that you can take oath outside Canada. If you can't get back to Canada on time for oath, you can always reschedule the oath date.
Hi….what are you basing your opinion on in respect of being outside of Canada now being a ‘blocker’?
I’ve read many posts and there’s zero mention of it from what I can see and more than likely they will give us the opportunity at least to try and make it back before any other action is taken.
Secondly to the posted above, cheers for the PDF document but as per other contributors here…it’s a possible and not guaranteed about doing oath overseas….but I live in Hope
Did you get official answer from IRCC about virtual oath outside Canada?
If I am outside of country, I would try the best to go back for the oath. It's a honorable respect. Unless heath issues is concerned.
