August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Kanedaa]

Guys/Girls, I finally got my oath ceremony for the 1st of Sept. However, I have a trip booked for 28th Sept. To come back to Canada I believe I would need the citizenship cert. But do we know how long it takes to get the cert? If it doesn't come on time what else can I do to enter Canada? At the oath ceremony, they make you snap up the PR card. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

What's your timeline, I don't see your details in the Aug-2021 sheet?

If you are canadian citizenship/PR, you need to enter Canada as canadian/PR, even if you have dual citizenship.

fair enough. ill pop down to the border and double make sure aswel. Im living to go states so they wont ask me how i am entering as i have my visa for it in my uk passport its just when entering back here... lets see this will be fun to deal with :/

Thanks, I will go to the border and ask. Surely, has to be a way to enter Canada I don't think that option of not entering is one. I have a UK passport, so i don't even need a visa to enter Canada. I don't think it applies to us

Didn't guess you had UK passport , then it should be easy for you. But you would need atleast the certificate to enter.

That's the 3rd time you've mentioned you have a UK passport which has me wondering if telling everyone that is the main purpose of you posting.
