Virtual ceremony, Mississauga office, 18th of May@ 1 PM

I’ve been scheduled for virtual oath ceremony on June 19 (Scarborough Office).

In order to expedite the receipt of Citizenship Certificate, I replied to the oath invitation email asking whether I could receive e-certificate instead of paper certificate.

I got a response saying that to switch to e-certificate, my oath ceremony will have to be rescheduled to June 29 instead.

I have travel coming up on July 10 and was wondering if I should stick to the original invite or switch to the new one.

In both cases, it seems to be too tight of a turnaround to receive the citizenship certificate and process request for express passport prior to July 10 travel day.

Both ways you would get the certificate around the same time in ideal scenario. If they dispatch paper one faster and Canada post delivers on time it may even be earlier compared to e-certificate.

Yes, feels like too much of a risk to ask them to change the oath ceremony date for marginal gain. Thanks for reassuring!

@Bravered - Based on the above you should feel more assured going with the paper option

can anyone describe their virtual oath ceremony for recent 2023? just want to have an idea how long it should be

Mine took one hour and 15 minutes from the start to the end. There were 97 applicants participated in the ceremony.

Try sending an email to the same email where you sent your oath confirmation.

This is why they say, not to confirm travels until you have your passport. 19th is a good day as it falls on a Monday. So you have all five work days of the week. I did my oath on 16 May and received the certificate (hard copy) on 29th May. Hopefully you will still be able to get your passport (Expedited process with extra fee and evidence to prove the upcoming travel) by July 10.

Thanks for the best wishes.

I had given up hope of getting an oath ceremony invite (pending LPP and oath invite since test completed on Nov 7, 2022) and had applied for Schengen visa in March using my Indian passport to travel to Europe in July.

Fingers crossed it works out.
