I live in Ontario and have completed my Citizenship test in Jan 2023.
Currently awaiting the citizenship ceremony date. I am leaving to India after few weeks
and might not be able to attend the ceremony, so will have to postpone it.
1) Do I have to provide any proof that I am not in Canada?
2) What is the maximum time period allowed to stay out of Canada while awaiting ceremony date?
3) Till how much time (days/months), can I postpone the date?

Yes you are right. LANGUAGE, PROHIBITIONS, PHYSICAL PRESENCE are still marked as In progress. So expecting the oath in few months ahead. Hopefully I should return by then. Thanks.

I think you will be due for Oath by around the end of the year.
Now if you inform IRCC about your travel they may place a virtual hold on your application till return back and inform them you are back.
IRCC unfortunately does not unfortunately provide a concierge service that they will schedule your Oath when you are back in the country etc, they may schedule it after few weeks/months.
If you receive an Oath invitation you can reply back to IRCC informing them to postpone it, but as I said above no concierge service provided..

After waiting for so long, it is the best to complete your citizenship and go on your scheduled travels after. (If the travel is not time sensitive or urgent) Re scheduling can be another stretch of weeks, months of wait before you can become a citizen..
When they say average, 80% of applications are completed in that time. Yours could be faster but 4-6 months after test is a good bet. I've seen someone in this forum postpone their oath from Oct 20222 to Mar 2023 so a few months may be acceptable?

Hi! So you’ll probably not be able to do your ceremony in time for your trip. And either way, you’ll still have to wait at least a week after the ceremony to have a passport (even with urgent processing granted). I recommend you wait until you receive the official ceremony invitation letter over email (they send it to you a couple of weeks beforehand) and let them know that you’d like to reschedule then! They’re very quick to respond in Toronto. Additionally, if you’d like to get a better understanding of the timelines, check this tracker I’ve been using throughout my whole process: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/canadian-citizenship-processing-tracker. It really helped with understanding how long it takes to go from the test to the ceremony these days!
